Perhaps, it is caused by love for the game, a playing background, a longing to give something back, or sometimes, it is simply because nobody among other adults can teach the game to kids. If coaching your own child/s is your plan, here are some baseballs coaching philosophies you need to keep in mind: 1. Communication - Players need to communicate and call for the balls. This will prevent players chasing after fly balls collide with other players or objects such as fences while they run. Players in pursuit of the same fly ball can communicate by calling, I've got it" or "You take it." 4. It is the batter s goal to make sure that the ball is in motion and that it would be hard for the fielders to catch it. There are more things that you must learn about before you can become very confident in going out in the field and trying your hands with the ball or the bat. It will also help if you will familiarize yourself with the game to learn baseball by watching this sport live in action or even on TV. The first thing that you have to decide on is choosing the right kind of bat for you. Make sure that you will use something that you will be able to handle with ease. This step allows you to think quickly and practice your precision as you try to swing and hit the bat during the practice. With the bat on your hand, you have to come up to the plate with a clear plan on your mind. Throw the ball cross seam to prevent the ball from sinking, tailing, or going to the opponent player you are throwing to. 7. Learn proper hand and footwork. When you crow hop or throw the ball, use your feet to your advantage. If the ball is going to hit the ground, don t forget to run to it. Use your two hands to catch a bouncing ball. Directing the ball To place the ball toward the first base, keep the right hand rigid while pushing the left hand forward. Bunting it to third base, keep the right ball like you had a glove on. Do not poke at it. (Do the opposite movements when you are a left-hander.) Bunting the strike If in the act of moving into a bunting position and the pitch looks like a ball, immediately yank the heavy end of the bat back.
