gripping the bat     

     Parents and coaches should always encourage young players to grip the bat more in
the fingers area of the hand.  This method allows for greater flexibility in the wrists in the
batter's approach to the ball.  Holding the bat in the palms of the hands as many young
hitters do hinders mobility and limits the range of motion in hitting all pitches in the strike
zone.
