3.  Door knocking knuckles should be lined up.  You shouldn’t choke the bat with your hands, this causes a loss in range of motion

4.  Feet shoulder width apart.  Too wide is uncomfortable and you lose rotation with your legs.  Too narrow and your unbalanced and not athletic.  Arms should be close to body and in the vicinity of your armpit.

7.  Drive knob of the bat to the ball following the A to C path.  A long swing results in foul balls, weakly hit fly balls, and strikeouts.  A short and quick swing is ideal.  Elbows should have slight bend to them when making contact with baseball.  Hips and legs should rotate with the torso creating torque to propel the ball.

10.  Hitting a baseball is 80% mental and 20% physical  If you start an at bat thinking your going to get out you might as well sit back in the dugout  A batter must learn pitch sequences, release points, and timing of the pitcher.  You only have milliseconds to react !!
