Developing the Correct Grip on a Baseball Bat

Baseball Bat Grip
I’ve found one of the toughest things to teach is the baseball bat grip. This is understandable for young hitters whose hands are still small, but most older hitters resist wanting to put the bat in the upper palms and fingers. A good way to demonstrate the grip is to have hitters hold their cell phones before gripping the bat and then have them hold the bat the same way. Like many hitting tips, players have to be continually reminded of the correct grip. The correct grip allows the correct swing extension, great bat whip and prevents an early roll of the wrists.
