There are three ways to hit an inside fastball, you can pull it, you can take it up the middle, or you can take it the other way all with authority, but there is only one thing you can do with an outside pitch "go the other way". It is always better to be a little late on an inside pitch then to be a little early on the away pitch. On the other end of the spectrum a young hitter -- I'm talking the 6-8 age range -- should not be corrected as much if he is a "pull hitter".A young hitter should learn the feel of fast before he is worked to get his hands inside the ball. Great post joe I will chat with you again in the near future. -jramage I can’t agree with you more.
