- Hitting Tips Summary: Approach, pulling off the outside pitch, ball tracking, keeping your head down throughout the swing, staying off the top of the batting cage, targeting the back corners of the cage, overswinging, placing a focal point in front of home plate to keep the head down, reacting to inside pitch, spinning vertically on the back foot to increase bat speed and fix dipping/pulling of the ball (causing pop-fly's and groundballs), hitting the first ball hard (staying within yourself) trying to hit the next ball harder (overswinging).
