You don’t have to be a hitting expert to sound like one – just use this word when giving advice and you can help young hitters and sound like an expert. What’s the word? Stay – that’s it. Put this word with the following words – ready, back, inside,  behind,  focused and you will sound like a knowledgeable hitting coach.
 Good hitters:
1.  Stay ready to hit and expect the next pitch to be their pitch.
2.  Stay back, keeping their weight and hands back with their stride until the last second before swinging.
3.  Stay inside, not reaching for the ball and attempting to hit the inside back of the ball.
4.  Stay behind, throwing their hands through the ball with their head remaining  behind their swing.
5.  Stay focused, making every at-bat count and having quality at-bats
