Hey guys I'm a righty and I've been playing softball for about 4 years now. I'm not a big guy by any means 6' 165lbs, definitely not a power hitter, still looking for the elusive 1st homer. I'm wondering if anyone else has had this issue or has some tips.
I feel like I may have a whole in my swing or something but I basically hit back up the middle or to right field. My shots to center are decent some at the pitch(not on purpose) and some are decent shots to deep center. Then when I'm hitting and its going to R they usually dont have much power to them and land between RF and the 2nd basement. Anytime I do pull a ball its 99% assured to be a bouncing grounder to SS or 3B.
I would like to be able to pull the ball a bit to use all the field because teams are starting to remember me and play up in R and getting ready for it. I Know that it does have some to do with pitch location and I do like swinging at pitches on the outside of the plate. sometimes the lower the better also. But i do swing at pitches inside also so its not like im trying to pull balls outside.
thanks guys
