You are looking for tips to help your young child for baseball hitting.

Here are a few tips from the pros such as Cal Ripken Senior.

The first thing is to pick a bat that is easily be handled. Next is learning the strike zone, don't make the mistake of swinging at bad pitches. When swinging keep your front shoulder and your chin tucked in and your hands back. Turn your head to look at the pitcher with both of your eyes, "stay on the balls" of the feet. Keep in mind to stay off your heels and "keep your head still." When swinging the bat, as the pitcher is getting to throw the ball, "move your hands back slightly." You like the pitch swing, if not hold it. When you decide to swing, take a small step forward to meet the ball. Don't take a long step that just unbalances you. Keep on top of the ball, a slight downward swing permits this, preventing upper cutting the ball. The "front shoulder in and down" is what permits "a hitter to get the bat" out in front, preventing the back shoulder dropping. It is important to hit to your strength and learn your weakness.

Mike Piazza has a few tips of his own to add.

Stay inside the ball so you can hit the ball to all fields. Try to spread your feet a little wider then your shoulder width for keeping balance. Hold the bat at a 45 degree angle to prevent unnecessary movement in the swing. Keep your back elbow close to your body to help the hands and barrel of the bat swing through the ball. Have someone watch you swing to check your mechanics

Tony Gwynn added his favorite way to practice.

He uses a batting tee and a ball of wiffle balls. According to him, when "you hit," it is like hitting a knuckle-ball. You can tell if you hit it right because the air "you can hear the air going through the ball." Otherwise the ball spins out of control. On the off season when he goes home he breaks out the tee, wiffle balls and headset to practice.

Manny Mota, the legendary Dodgers Outfielder has a few tips as well.

He finds that approaching the plate with rhythm, concentration and purpose are important aspects on hitting the ball. If you walk up to the home plate thinking to hit a home run, you are going to have a hard time hitting a pitch on the outside. You are opening your front side and that is what is going to cause you to fail in driving the ball on an outside pitch. it helps to be aggressive at the plate but also you need to remain relax. If your arms get too tight, then you lose good wrist action, which is of advantage.

The following are some recommended batting drills to improve baseball hitting.

The Power Bat Drill: The purpose of this drill is to build power in the swing by trying to hit a heavier ball then a baseball. When trying to hit the ball the player is building up the strength to hit a smaller ball at contact.

The equipment needed: a plunger, a batter tee, a flat soccer or basketball, a bat, a hitting net or wall.

To do the drill you need to insert the plunger handle in the batting tee. Then place the the flatten ball in the plunger cup. Then try to hit the ball. When trying to hit the ball, try not decelerate at he point of contact. If the bat stutters at the impact point which means that you decelerated for a second before continuing before the ball continues to resume speed to the finishing point. The point is to concentrate on the technique and not launching the ball.

The Strike Zone Drill

This is to teach the player to recognize the strike zone.This involves a coach pitching the ball at about forty feet from the plate. The batter as he/she goes to the plate, takes proper position and tracks the ball with his/her's head to the catcher's glove and calls out whether the pitch was a ball or a strike.

The Colored Ball Drill

This is to improve the batter's reaction time and quick thinking at bat. This involves several baseballs being painted different colors. Someone placing a ball in the pitcher's glove without the batter not seeing the color. The pitcher calling a color. The batter is only allowed to swing if the ball is the color called and whether or not the ball is in the strike zone.
