First: Many coaches look at batting first, but I look at sprints, strengths and coordination in forward throwing the ball. Batting order is important for coaches. Absolutely! But you must be able to not just hit the ball which requires good eye coordination as well as arm strength and mental awareness. You also need to know how to hold the bat and read your pitcher to hit the ball in a way that will make you a good hitter. Therefore, this is a 101 tips in baseball to help you locate coaches to help in personal training for your understanding of the bottom of the inning for your expectations in a realistic sense. Every athlete needs personal training. This is the 101 to help you get to the 9th inning. Again, I write this article as a parent first, Baseball enthusiast second and potential lead to help you get your player or understanding of expectations in the game cut down to reality.
The Basics, Do’s and Don’t:
Batting order: This makes it easier for the kids, parents, and scouts.
- batting out of turn is a no, no!
- Any advances or scores due an out of order batter are nullified.
- Batter is removed from the bases he reached.
- The proper batter is called out.
- When an umpire sees a hitter bats out of order, he can declare him out.
Helmet:
- A player can’t remove his helmet while at bat or running the bases.
- A first offense draws a warning from the umpire.
- A second violation results in the player being called out.
Strike zone.
The strike zone is the space over home plate. Between, the batter’s shoulders and the top of his knees.
Fair ball! What is a Fair Ball in Baseball?
- A batted ball that first contacts the field in beyond first or third base — with the foul lines and foul poles counting as fair territory — is considered fair.
First base and third base are along the foul lines. They are used to determine a fair or foul ball. If the ball lands in foul territory before first base and third base it is a foul ball.If the ball travels beyond the bases and then goes into foul territory it is fair.
The foul lines are formed between home plate and first base and home plate and third base. They extend all the way to the outfield. The lines themselves are considered fair territory.
Baserunning.
Youth baseball, is fun when you can run the bases.
- But, a runner must touch each base when going around the infield and won’t score a run until he touches first, second and third base and then home plate in succession (if he misses one he has to go back to that base while touching them in succession and not passing any other runners).
- Baserunner can’t pass a fellow runner that is in front of him when running the bases.
- Baserunner can’t run more than three feet away from his baseline to avoid being tagged out unless he is trying to avoid interference with a fielder.
- Tagging out.
To tag out a runner, a fielder must touch him with the ball or with his glove when the ball is in. A runner is not out if the fielder tags him with his glove but has the ball in his other hand.
Pitch.
Pitcher has to keep one foot on the rubber during his windup and must come to a complete stop – though brief – during it.
It’s also important to stress that a pitcher can’t put either hand to his mouth within the pitching circle unless the umpire has allowed it beforehand.
Sportsmanship.
- League players can’t argue balls and strikes.
- Respect to umpires as well as coaches and players is a must.
- Umpires have the ultimate decisions and can disqualify a player or coach for good reason.
