I am thinking about trying out for fastpitch (softball). I'm really good at fielding. I was on the slowpitch team. But, I absolutely cannot hit fastpitch!! Can anyone give me tips on how to help hitting? By the way, I play basketball that's why I have to try-out so late. By the way, if you could, try not to suggest go to a batting cage. Because I live in Mississippi, the part affected by Katrina, and I'm not sure of many batting cages that are open.

Um, ive played softball for 7 years now,and whats helped my batting is this thing I think its called 'hit away'? You hook it up to a pole in ur basement and just throw it and on the third time you hit it. It makes you quicker. Also, it could be that you're holding the bat wrong. Make sure your left elbow is up and your bat is back, and make sure you shift your weight from your right leg to your left before swinging.(you could get help from an adult or a softball clinic) Another thing is building up your muscels in your arms. Lift some weights or do some push-ups, but dont over-do it. Make sure you stretch before batting =) I hope I helped ♥
