Big Barrel Bats
By guest author: Glenn Downer
If you are looking for a new baseball bat to replace your old one, you might want to consider one of the big barrel bats. These bats are fast becoming more popular among baseball players in recent years, and you can easily buy one from your local sports shop, or from an online store. However, you should not head out right away to buy your big barrel bat, without finding out more about it first.
Baseball is a very popular sport in the United States, and as a result of its high demand, manufacturers are constantly coming up with new designs and styles. In the olden days, the hitters had only the choice of using the wooden types. They were heavy and clumsy.
Then came the year 1970 when a man named Worth started the ball rolling on the use of aluminum baseball bats, which are light in nature, and hard and strong when alloyed. Aluminum bats have been in high demand until the contemporary designed composites came into the market. These bats, which are manufactured from composite materials, are popular due to their durability and potency.
If you were to compare the big barrels bats with the other bats that are used by players, you will find that they actually have thicker composites, and that is probably the reason why they are better for hitting hardballs, rather than softballs.
However, these big barrel baseball bats do not make it easy for bat rolling, a process to make the new bats hotter, so as to add on to the speed of the baseball when hit.
A new bat is placed between two rollers and then pressure is applied to the bat as it passes through them. What this process will achieve ultimately is the flexibility of the fibers, which then leads to a better trampoline effect.

Improving Your Baseball Throw
Improving Your Baseball Throw
By guest author: Nancy Kelsey Smith
Without a doubt, one of the most popular of American sports is the game of baseball. It is played by pee wees and little league players, some of whom are not even of school age yet. It is played in high schools and colleges and at the professional level. It is also a popular activity for city and county recreational teams.
Baseball is a game that requires skill, speed, coordination and accuracy. In order to become proficient at this sport (or any other), it is necessary to learn the correct techniques associated with this game and then to put in a sufficient amount of time practicing those techniques.
One of the most important elements of the game of baseball is the art of throwing a ball accurately and with sufficient speed. Nothing can adequately substitute for training and practice but it is helpful to understand the mechanics of good ball throwing. The hand placement is crucial is you want to throw a ball quickly and have it go where you intend it to go. Placing the ball in your dominant hand (your throwing arm) with the first and second fingers griping across the seams and your thumb on the underneath side for support but also griping across the seams on the bottom is the correct placement of the ball. This position may not seem natural at first but after some practice using this technique one can understand how this ball placement allows the ball to travel straighter and faster.
Keeping the ball on the fingertips where it will get the fastest release rather than settling toward the back of the hand will result in a superior throw. The optimum throw involves wrist action as well as hand and arm movement. When preparing to throw, cock the wrist backward so that it becomes a full arm effort when the ball is brought forward rather than just an arm movement only. This will also increase power and speed.
Correct body alignment calls for squaring your body toward the object you are aiming at and then lining up the rest of your body in like manner. As you progress into the throw, your throwing elbow should be at shoulder height and your knuckles pointing skyward. The ideal throw is more of a circular motion than a straight back and forth movement. Again, this may seem unfamiliar and odd if you are not used to throwing this way but with practice it will produce much better results than a simple back to front movement with the ball.

Baseball Fielding Tips - Grounders A to Z
Baseball Fielding Tips - Grounders A to Z
By guest author: Larry Cicchiello
Here is an alphabetized list of some baseball fielding tips for ground balls:
Arm extension. You should extend your arms almost straight out and field the ball in front of your body. You should never field grounders near your body or underneath your body. In at least 90% of the cases where a grounder goes through an infielder's legs, it's because the arms and hands were not out in front of the body.
Back-handing the ball. Try to keep your glove hand relaxed and don't stab at the ball unless you have to. You want to really focus on "soft hands" and sort of ease the ball into your glove.
Backside should be down. Your rear end should be down and kept down, almost like you're sitting in a chair. By doing this, there is less of a chance for the ball to go under you and your eye level will be much better to read the ball very well.
Ball stops rolling. The easiest way to pick a ball up if it has stopped is to push it into the ground. Scooping it up takes more time and increases the chance for a miscue. By pressing down, in essence you are pushing the ball into your hand, which is exactly what you want.
Bare-handed play when the ball is rolling very slowly. Many players make the common fielding mistake of trying to scoop it up with a couple of their fingers so their fingers are in position to throw the ball. The proper way is to cup the hand and field the ball with all of your fingers. Now comes the tricky part. You only have a very small amount of time to go from cupping the ball and getting it into your four-seam throwing grip. It takes a little practice to perfect this fundamental but it is worth the time and a little effort to learn the proper technique.
Bounces can be very tricky. All the good infielders read the ball off the bat immediately and they often determine the bounce they will get and the batted ball does not determine the bounce they will get. The expression is that "you play the ball and don't let the ball play you." It's important to sometimes charge in and get the friendly hop. Try to avoid the hop where the ball bounces about three feet in front of you. There is a huge difference between the friendly and the unfriendly bounce.
Egg and not a baseball. If possible, catch every ground ball like you are catching an egg and don't want the egg to break. Watch the soft hands of all of the outstanding infielders and how they ease the ball into their glove.
Getting in front of the ball. Always try to get in front of the ball. The real good infielders get in front of almost everything. The error prone infielders do not and stab at too many balls.
Glove down. One of the best baseball fielding tips when attempting to field grounders is never get beat under your glove! We play from the ground up. Get the glove out in front of your body and on the ground early. You will notice that almost every time a grounder goes through an infielder's legs, it's because their glove was not low enough, was too close to their feet and not out in front of their body.
Hands. Like we mentioned, the hands should always be out in front. If the ball takes a bad hop and your hands are close to your body, you have very little chance to adjust. And remember, you are catching an egg and not a baseball. Keep your hands soft.
Knees bent and pointing outward. The baseball expression is "the arms and knees out and the waist straight."
Playing from the ground up. Playing from the ground up means keep the glove down and only bring the glove up when and if needed. It's so much more difficult to have your glove high and have to go downward to get the ball and you'll have more of a tendency to stab at the ball and miss it.
Pop up drill should be practiced. After fielding the grounder, "pop up" as quickly as possible, with the front shoulder facing your target. The real good infielders practice the pop up drill to save valuable fractions of a second. That's one of the reasons they are real good infielders. Quite often on ground balls, the out or safe call is determined by a fraction of a second and the good infielders realize this and practice the "pop up" drill often.
Slow roller. Call for a slow roller just like you would call for a ball that is popped up. You don't just call for pop ups but call for grounders as well. It will avoid a lot of confusion. It's very frustrating when you see two fielders stop dead in their tracks because each thought the other was going to field the slow roller. What a shame for a game to be decided in that manner! You should make every attempt to approach the ball so that the ball is just outside your plant foot. This enables you to have your feet set and in the proper throwing position beforehand. Sometimes it is possible to do this and sometimes it is not. Remember, a fraction of a second is an eternity in baseball.
Throwing the ball. Bring your elbow up to throwing height, which is usually about the height of your shoulder. Throw the ball and follow through. Almost every errant throw that sails high when thrown by an infielder is because he did not raise his elbow high enough.
Your face when fielding a grounder. When fielding a grounder, no one should see your face and if they do, something is wrong. They should only see the top of your cap as your face is looking down at the ground and the baseball.

Conditioning Musts For Baseball Pitchers
Conditioning Musts For Baseball Pitchers
By guest author: Steve Rau
Back in the Bob Gibson and Sandy Koufax days pitchers were told to stay away from the weight room due to the fear of becoming too muscle bound and losing flexibility. Today pitchers are encouraged to train religiously to stay in shape, which also includes hitting the weights. This doesn't mean to go crazy pumping iron and come out of the off-season looking like Arnold, but pitchers do need to incorporate a conditioning program involving strength training and aerobic exercise.
The legs are the starting point for generating power and durability. Both weight training and running offer a way to build strength in the legs. Some common lifts are squats, lunges, toe raises, leg extensions, leg curls, and the leg press. These six lifts hit all of the key muscle groups in the legs. Running hills and/or steps is another way to strengthen the legs. If a player doesn't have the opportunity to go to a gym and use a treadmill or stair climber, the nearest hill or steps would accomplish the same results at no cost.
Next, the abdominal region creates the maximum external rotation that transfers the energy into the arm. The abdominal muscles are very easy to develop through crunches and medicine ball rotations. You don't need any fancy equipment. Fill up a volleyball with sand and you have a medicine ball; hit the carpet in the living room to perform sets of crunches. Abs can be worked everyday, at any time in the day.
Finally, it is crucial for pitchers to develop some sort of cardio routine both in season and off season. For young ballplayers, the off season conditioning can be that of playing another sport like soccer, football, or wrestling. As far as in season conditioning goes, a steady dose of sprints, comfortable jogging, and cardio-based drills would be valuable for pitchers.
Pitchers need to be in shape. Losing just a couple mph's late in the game on the fastball can mean the difference between a win and a loss for the team. When a pitcher's body breaks down from exhaustion, injuries are more likely to occur, therefore, youth baseball coaches need to be very much aware of pitcher conditioning and prepare their players for the increased pitch counts that are to follow as they grow older.
