10 most common mistakes hitters have with there approach

I was looking through some of my old hitting books this past weekend and came across Dusty Bakers book on hitting. This is a great book that teaches a systematic approach for coaches and players. Dusty talks about the 10 most common mistakes made today.

1. The grip
2. The stance and stride
3. Plate coverage
4. Loading the hands
5. The pivot
6. Bat angle
7. Front shoulder early release
8. Follow through or finish
9. Tracking the ball
10. Fear of the ball

If you look at this list you’ll notice that we discuss almost ever area in the 5 parts to a swing. Again it is very important to understand the mechanics of the swing and how they work together. This is where all the adjustments
are made.
