Batting average

"Out" called the ump. Everyone scared to death we hear the score. 5-4 visitors, 2 outs, top of the seventh. Our whole team jumps to the fence when Daniel Messe gets to the batter's box. "Hopefully Danny doesn't get striked out" the team says. "Strike 1" the ump calls."Strike 2" he calls. Our team roars with a scared feeling in our guts. If Danny gets out we will lose the game and be eliminated from the playoffs I think to myself. 1,2,3 balls the ump calls. Our whole team rises with fear.…

Every time that I run my fingers along the raised stitches of a softball, I think back to the time I played softball. My fingers needed to be in an exact position on the stitches in order for me to throw the perfect pitch. It’s a chapter of my life that doesn’t bring back all happy memories. I spent six years of my life being a star, and I’ll admit it. I had extreme talent when it came to playing softball. It was like I was born for the game. Everything came so naturally to me. But I wasn’t born…

trouble hitting the ball. Mostly those players are able to hit because they know the mechanics, they practice a lot and of course they have raw talent. I am going to show some simple steps of how to properly hit a ball. Before starting with the batting we need some things first. Obviously you need to go to a baseball park, because practicing at your home might be difficult if you do not have enough space. Next you are going to need a baseball and I recommend you to bring a friend, so he can…

Perspective 1 (Me): Allergies drove me crazy as I waited my turn for the Star Drill at softball practice. Discreetly wiping under my nose, I shifted my weight as I watched my teammates throw the ball around the bases. The catcher threw the ball to Tess, who was standing about ten feet in front of me. I saw it coming in high compared to Tess' small frame, and got prepared for the ball coming at us. Tess jumped up to get the ball, tipped it off her glove, and next thing I knew I was on the…

count and he got a changeup down the middle and hit the ball to right field. So as I was standing in the box, thinking about all my earlier memories of playing baseball and how my dad would practice with me and how we would go to the batting cages every weekend. The pitcher started his windup and I got ready to swing and he threw a changeup right down the middle. I was so focused I didn't even hear the sound of my bat when it made contact with the ball. After I finished my swing ,I…

“Either you run the day, or the day runs you.” Jim Rohn said this and it powerfully connects to me. The quote means, are you killing time aimlessly or exploiting it purposefully. I try to live everyday with at least one goal, a purpose, an objective. My life can best be described by a softball stolen from a field, memories of my family, and my future career. A softball is a symbol of my life. My life would be completely different if I didn’t play softball. I wouldn’t rush to practice every day…

I got my bat and batting gloves and went and took some hacks off the tee to get loose, then did soft toss so I could get my timing down because the pitcher was going to be throwing hard. After I hit I get my cleats and lace them tight on my feet. I did my leg stretches I…

What is baseball? Baseball is a game played using a bat and a ball that two teams of nine players take turns batting and fielding. Whoever the batting team is will attempt to hit the ball which will allow their team mates to run with the ultimate goal of a homerun. Baseball is a game that millions of people enjoy with their families and friends, although it is a sport this game also can intrigue the minds of math lovers everywhere, baseball can easily be broken down into number whether it…

Catchers should have the right to block the plate. If a catcher was to guard the plate with his body before the rule was made he would get the runner out if he holds onto the ball. Now if a catcher barely blocks a sliding lane it is an obstruction call and he would be safe even if he tags the runner out. The rule states that the catcher is not allowed to block the plate without giving the runner a lane otherwise it is obstruction. If the runner hits the catcher or doesn’t slide when it is a…
