DEAD! Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 That "Getting under the ball" technique in the outfield is wrong. It is really is difficult to judge where the ball is going to land if it's going straight to you. As for keeping you eye on the ball in the batter's box, that's wrong too. Even as a little leaguer, I had a hard time tracking a pitch. I saw, I came, I left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if you had the eye sight that I had growing up, it was hard enough just to see the ball, even with glasses on. Actually before I had glasses, I got headaches when I kept my eye on the ball the whole way which is probably why I only concentrated on the pitch half way through. Then again there is a BIG difference between major league pitches than little league pitches..... I saw, I came, I left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winghaz Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 It's kind of funny. I always remember taking the first pitch and watching what happened with the ball, even in Babe Ruth ball.Not that it helped me, though. I usually struck out. Alas, I'm one of those frustrated jocks who always wished he was good but never was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
