what you do to start your baseball adventure

hi so you want to be or raise a great baseball player well your in luck because Im going to teach all I know about baseball to you! If you are new to baseball then I can help you please select the yes or no so you have never played baseball.

well first I would recommend getting a baseball bag and also a bat the way to tell what size of bat you use is to grasp the bottom of the bat with you left hand and count to ten, if the player cant hold the bat for that long its probably too long if the player can hold for shorter than 10 seconds then its to short.then get a glove for your first glove you need to get a non leather glove then get a helmet and a rubber baseball

  4. the swing

    well the basics is step then swing now when I say swing I mean for little tikes it is to move you hands around your body but for older kids I mean turn your chest towards the pitcher and keep your hands firm until your chest is facing towards the pitcher then your hands push then they go around your body.

    the throwing basics

    well the basics of throw for 6 and lower is step and then throw when I say throw I mean point you glove towards the person you are throwing to then for little kids just try to push the ball as far as they can. For big kids it means once you body is turned towards the person then have you arm at a 90° angle then whip your arm down that way you get a lot of backspin on the ball. backspin puts a lot of velocity on the ball thats all you need to now about the basics of throwing later

    pitching

    the firs pitch you should know is the 4-seam fast ball I have picture of how you grip it so once you have mastered the 4-seam fast ball then you should learn a slow pitch the reason you want a slow pitch is so after you throw the fast ball the will swing ahead of the ball so the pitch is called the change up here is a picture of how to grip the change up after you have learned and succeeded with the change up you should learn the curvball the curvball obviously curves it curves because of the front spin after that you will be a pitcher then you can find advanced pitches like the sinker or the slider or the 12C curve that is all. oh ya i have a joke "what do baseball players eat on" "home plate"

    advanced swing

    so you have learned the basic swing now it is time to learn the advanced swing first you should have a firm front side which means if someone were to push on you front side then you Wouldn't budge. The next step is to lock your front leg out Which means at Contact your front leg should be straightened out which means no bend in the front leg.next step is the hardest one after contact have a strait up foot which means at a 90° angle thats it.one more "joke Why are baseball games at night?" "because bats sleep at during the day!"

    the advanced throw

    you have learned a lot so far but now you will learn the advanced throw.the first step is to grab the ball out of the bucket which is a way to say strait your arm out by your body when your foot lands your arm should be at a 90° angle whip down as hard as you can and later.actually this time is is something babe ruth said “Never let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game”
