  • Hitting Approach
    Hitting Approach By Scott Brosius With the start of the upcoming season right around the corner, coaches start to spend a lot of time thinking, and in some cases worrying, about their team’s offensive performance. We ask questions such as. “Are we going to hit this year?” and “how can we make these guys better”. Hitting is a huge concern for coaches and we dedicate a lot of time to offense in our practices. So what makes good hitters good? What do they do? What do they think? As part one of a two-part series on hitting, this article will focus on basic hitting approaches while part two will focus on drills and practice work we can do to implement our approach. Why start with approach? Because as coaches we can’t put the cart ahead of the horse when it comes to teaching our players. So many times at the start of the season coaches break out the balls and bats, get their players in a circle, give them a little talk on proper hitting mechanics, then send them in the cages to go to work. Guys will take hundreds and hundreds of swings to master these mechanics, but when the games start they have no idea how to take a quality at- bat. As coaches we need to take a step back and spend some time with our players, before they take their first swing, and provide them with an offensive approach or thought process. And I believe there are 3 simple thoughts all good hitters have in common.
