Download or read book How to Hit Home Runs in BP written by 369 Baseball and published by . This book was released on 2019-08-11 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I'm pretty sure you will love it, and I know for certain that it will help you reach your goal of hitting with more power and exit velocity, which will get you hitting more home runs. There are so many tips and pieces of advice that will help you become better and, at the same time, help you become an attractive ballplayer to scouts. If you are one of those players who suffer from warning-track power (and can only hit the ball to the fence with one or two hops), have difficulty getting the ball out of the infield, wish that you could hit the ball with authority to all fields, and have the power to put the ball in the bleachers, then this book is for you. If you are a parent who wants to help your child improve their hitting power, then this is the right place to start. This book does not teach basic mechanics, because by now I assume you know how to swing and have some good hitting fundamentals. Instead, I will go over some important techniques that are crucial to every power hitter. I want you to work these techniques and think: "Always hit with power. Always."This book contains proven steps and strategies for hitting with more power and increasing your exit velocity. The techniques and knowledge that I will teach you in this book are used by many current MLB players that have success with the long ball, along with minor league players and ex-MLB alumni. These principals will take you to another level as a hitter and, at the same time, will teach you the importance of hitting with authority. Some of the players that used these power principals are: Jose Altuve, Albert Pujols, Andres Galarraga, Josh Hamilton, Yoenis Céspedes, Giancarlo Stanton, Bryce Harper, among many others.
