If your body was a stick, keep the stick straight up and down when you’re hitting – or when you’re releasing the ball as a pitcher. This concept of a player’s body actually being a stick helps them visualize how to have the right posture at contact or release which is important to speed and control. It’s a pretty easy way to help players of all ages and skill level figure out how to keep their body in a good, balanced position when hitting or pitching.
