![]() ![]() Balk: Any pitching motion that is against the baseball rules, resulting in any runners on base advancing one base. Basically, you are trying to reward any bat on ball so they adjust to the ball, even if they don't crush the heck out of it. Backwards K: When a batter strikes out looking at the strikeout pitch, and does not swing and miss, this is known as a backwards K. Eventually, once they get good at fouling off balls, you can say that you have to put the ball into play to stay in. Kids will start to adjust to pitches just to get the bat on the ball, so they can stay up at bat. On Monday night, he made Red Sox infielder Yu Chang his latest victim. But if they swing and miss, they are out. Last week, he almost made Twins utilityman Willi Castro fall down with a curveball in the dirt. ![]() Then tell them that they can stay up there as long as they foul off or put the ball into play. Accepting that as fact, and that they don't have eye issues, it sounds like they just need practice adjusting to balls not right down the middle (maybe they played a lot of machine pitch? coach pitch moving up?)īesides just taking more BP and soft tossing them (inside, outside, high, low), I like the 2 strike game. However, they really can only hit the ball in one or two spots. ![]() They have swings which are fundamentally the best on the team. When I throw batting practice to them it's pretty clear what is going on. For the new-look expected swing and miss+, I decided to construct logistic regressions on Statcast pitch types. 1 Kids who swing and miss a lot 07-29-2013, 01:22 PM I have a couple of 9U kids who swing and miss a lot. The swinging strike rate can change by a factor of three-to-four times depending on the pitch’s vertical location in the strike zone. Very perplexing that they have the best fundamental swings on the team, but can't hit a pitch unless it's right down main street. Once I had formed six groups, I generated logistic regressions to predict the probability of a swing and miss based off of raw pitch traits. If I throw it anywhere else in the strike zone.whiffff.Īny ideas what I can do to help these kids?Lots of possibilities here. Since the swings are good, they drive the ball pretty well if I throw it to that spot. However, they really can only hit the ball in one or two spots. Batters are most likely to miss the pitch on a 0-2 count and less likely on a 3-0 count. It's that first line the Batting Average on Balls in Play that stands out, perhaps in part because they’re so much better at getting pop-ups, which are essentially a no-value batted ball. It's a whole lot more about getting a lot more weak contact. I have a couple of 9U kids who swing and miss a lot. It’s not as much about swing-and-miss rate as you might think. ![]()
