Baseball Training | The Stride
As the ball is being delivered to the plate, the batter should raise his front foot just above the ground and slide it forward (toward pitcher) about six inches. This step, a critical part of hitting, begins what is generally termed "timing". All other movements that are a part of batting flow from it.
Fig. 1 Fig. 2 As Indicated at left, batter's body should face pitcher slightly, with toe of front foot about in line with instep of rear foot. Middle of body should also be about opposite tail end of plate. Batter's hips and shoulders should always be level, as shown in sketch at right
To learn and practice The Stride, beginners should first take the stance just described and place hands on hips. Then, simply step forward. And back. Forward. And back. Forward. And back.
Now, well begin to build on the timing cycle. As the front foot comes down, the batter is to rotate the trunk toward the pitcher. From the hips up, he twists the body sharply and as far as it will go.

Hit It Where It's Pitched!
Once the pitcher starts his move, the batter wants to stand absolutely still, but relaxed, never taking his eyes off the pitcher. He concentrates most when the pitcher is about to release the ball. It's not a good practice to try to follow the ball all through the pitcher's windup. As the ball comes whistling toward the plate, the batter must get into the habit of watching it all the way-until it actually meets the bat. He must not pull his head away from the plate until after the ball has been hit.
Batter should adjust forward step to hit ball where it's pitched Fig. 3
The batter must start the weight forward early! Take your stride as the pitcher's striding foot hits the ground.
Starting the forward stride and striding in the right direction are equally important. Always step toward the ball, but move so that the ball will arrive near the "meat end" of the bat.
