Hit a home run - put your head down, drop the bat, run around the bases, because the name on the front is more - a lot more important than the name on the back.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
After I hit a home run I had a habit of running the bases with my head down. I figured the pitcher already felt bad enough without me showing him up rounding the bases.
If you want to steal a base, steal a base. Don't make the hitter swing at a bad pitch trying to protect the runner.
Generally in the Little League you're up against a good pitcher who throws like hell. What does the coach say? Get a walk. Isn't that beautiful way to learn to hit? For four years you stand up there looking for a walk.
Are you tall? Are you strong? How big are your hands? You must be honest with yourself or you will end up using the wrong bat.
I'm so bad at baseball, I can't even hit now.
Every time I take the mound, I try to win. So that's what I'm trying to do.
My pitching philosophy is simple - keep the ball way from the bat.
I don't try to hit home runs. I just try to meet the ball and get base hits.
How to hit home runs: I swing as hard as I can, and I try to swing right through the ball.
The easiest way around the bases is with one swing of the bat.
