BVSA Teaches: Where to hold the bat

For this episode of BVSA Teaches, Frank Ramppen will be talking about where to hold the bat. To start, have the kid hold the bat in their stance is if they put the bat flat on their shoulder. You’ve got to tell them to hold the bat in their fingers, not to rotate it. Those knock knuckles kind of line up nice and loosely, and then just kind of raise it up. Go from the bat laying flat on the shoulder, to raising it up rather straight. So that’s just for the kids that really don’t understand where to hold the bat. And again, these things are so important. This needs to be done as you introduce a kid to hitting. All the drills for stance and where to hold the bat have to happen before you progress on to the rest of the swing.
