Baseball

A firm grip with the bat held by the fingers, not the palm of the hand
A balanced workable stance with both eyes facing pitcher
Moderate stride with the front toe closed
Maintain the weight back during the stride
Have the bat in the launch position when the front toe lands
Start with a strong, level rotation of the hips: this pulls the knob to the ball
Weight shift from firm back side to firm front side
Strong wrists release the barrel to the ball
Bat should be level to slightly upward through the hitting zone
Keep the head still throughout

Grip with light pressure, two fingers on top and edge of thumb on bottom of ball
Athletic position has weight on balls of the feet, nose over toes
Action begins with thumbs and palms down, throwing hand on top of ball
Reverse arm swing stays even of ahead of the shoulders (never behind shoulders)
Lead shoulder and lead hip pointed at the target, lead heel to the target
Throwing elbow should be above the shoulder at launch
Weight should be on the back leg at launch
Throwing action begins with a strong, level rotation of the hips and trunk
Throwing elbow and shoulders are aligned at release point
Throwing motion finishes as long in time and distance as possible
Pitch counts should be monitored and regulated in youth baseball.
