Situational Hitting
During batting practice, ensure that you are using proper mechanics by challenging yourself to go through the various situations that you could encounter in a game. The following are some:
- Hit and Run - Ensure you make contact and hit the ball on the ground to the opposite field
- Runner on third, less than two outs - A fly ball will score a run
- Man on second with no outs - A ground ball to the right side will move the runner to third with only one out.
- Infield In - Hard ground ball will most likely get through the infield
- Two strikes - Must make contact. Shorten your swing a bit and put the ball in play
