Major Tips From Your Coaches - 2009 !
Mississauga Majors AAA
THROWING - Good alignment and quick feet will increase your chances of
making accurate throws.
- Practice how you would play in a game situation.
- The better care you take of your arm the better you will throw.
- Long toss to strengthen, maintain and prevent arm and shoulder
injuries.
- Throw with passion. Remember that recreational throwing can be
your best practice. Focus on a target (partner's chest) and try
to hit it every time. Throwing is to baseball as skating is to
hockey, if you can't throw you can't play baseball.
FIELDING - Be aggressive on routine ground balls; field every one in the
middle of your body to protect you against a bad hop.
- Back up your teammates on every play; encourage them to do the
same.
- Get to know your pitcher. Don't be on your heels when the pitch
is crossing home plate.
- Go through a mental checklist before every pitch, situation,
balls, strikes, outs, runners on base, etc.
- Looking for location of pitches. Bat angles can often help you
get that extra step to make the play.
- Study hitters, pay close attention to their strength, weakness
tendencies. This will help you position yourself on the field
better.
HITTING - Know your hitting objective before you step into the batter's
box. For example, situation hitting.
- Select a bat you can handle. Bat speed is the most important,
not how big of a bat you swing.
- By average, you will fail seven out of ten times as a good
hitter. Being able to deal with failure more times than success
is critical.
- Do not get down on yourself about previous at bats. Take
advantage of every new at bat and believe you're going to do
something good.
PITCHING - Think positive at all times, never get down on yourself in any
situation.
- Mentally concentrate on your sign, target, selection and
location, prior to delivering a pitch.
- Develop rhythm and consistency through mechanics.
- Be the best conditioned athlete on your team.
- Be confident and aggressive. Know you can get every hitter out
on every pitch you throw.
BASE RUNNING - Always think next base. Be aggressive.
- When arriving at any base always find the ball.
- Slide on anything close.
- Never get picked off standing up.
- Never make the first or third out at third base.
- Touch each base with your right foot when rounding the
bases, it will save you valuable steps around the bases.
