Strike Zone – Batting Tip
Knowledge of the strike zone comes from seeing pitches, from being in the batter’s blocks and getting used to seeing balls out of the pitcher‘s hand and where they cross the plate.
Something to really think about with the knowledge of the strike zone, is what pitch do you hit the best?
Not everybody hits a pitch low and away well. Not everyone hits the pitch up and in well. But if you know what you do and you know what pitch you like to hit, that’s what you look for and that’s the knowledge of your strike zone.
