WHAT MAKES A PROFESSIONAL HITTER

WHAT MAKES A PROFESSIONAL HITTER

BY: BOB DIDIER

FORM MAJOR LEAGUE CATCHER, COACH & AAA MANAGER

1. BALANCE- start to finish

2. STAYING INSIDE THE BALL WITH YOUR HANDS (finish over the ball)

3. EXTENSION -short to the ball- then extend ( EXTENSION IS AFTER CONTACT)

4. HANDS AND HIPS GENERATE POWER - slow feet then fast hands!!!

5. 2 STRIKE HITTING

* THINGS I TEACH

* choke up physically and mentally

* inch or 2 closer to the plate, brings outside corner closer

* think hard up the middle- short quick swing
