Hold the bat in a vertical position with it angled slightly over your back shoulder. Your head should be pointed directly at the pitcher. Keep your eyes on the ball at all times. Wait on the ball. Don't open your hips or front shoulder too soon or you will swing too early. Swing the bat in a nice, fluid motion. For beginners, keep both hands on the bat at all times. Be confident. Always go up to bat knowing that you will get the job done. Never give up. Practice as much as you can. Taking a little time each day practicing your swing will go a long way.
