I don’t know who needs to hear this … but you can’t defend a walk. Novel concept, but truth to the core. And results in pitch counts through the roof by the 3rd inning. How about using the best pitch in baseball … strike one! Then get soft contact (if possible) by the 4th pitch to each batter. Make plays and limit free opportunities. When in doubt, remember the 30% rule! Meaning there is a 70% chance that any batted ball will be an out. Fill that zone up! In place of your Impressive BALL FOUR “gas.”
Always told my teams you can raise a high school average 100 to 200 points if you are a superior bunter with some speed. So a .300 hitter who can really bunt… is .450 to possibly .500. Plus it wins games.
#1-9 hitters in HS lineup should all be able to sac, drag, push, slash, H&R, squeeze and safety squeeze. This opens up so many opportunities besides being a one dimensional HS hitter. And an added bonus is these skills improve barrel awareness and barrel manipulation. Meaning you become a better hitter when swinging.
