The fastpitch season is upon us, and we want you to be as prepared as possible. Not only with the best fastpitch bats on the market, but also with helpful tips to aid you this season and beyond. With that in mind, we wanted to share a few more tips from two-time Olympic Gold Medalist Michele Smith.
The theme of Michele’s videos is quickness and speed. It’s widely accepted in the fastpitch softball and baseball communities that quick hands and a quick bat are key components in a successful hitters swing. Bat speed results in more power and the ability to hit for a higher average. Quick hands also enable you to sit back and see the pitch longer which helps you become a more patient hitter.
In this first video, Michele discusses the best way to grip your bat in order to increase your bat speed.
In the second video, Michele discusses the importance of developing a short/quick swing and shows you the ideal swing path.

The time is now… time for the hard work to pay off. Although snow is still on the ground in some parts of country, the baseball and softball seasons are here at last. Spring training is in full swing, as well as college baseball and softball. For most parts of the country, high school baseball and softball tryouts are underway as well. The fun part of actually applying your hard work on the field has finally arrived, but your work is far from over.
As we all know, the baseball and fastpitch softball seasons are filled with ups and downs. The adversity that the season offers is what makes baseball and softball the hardest, but most rewarding, sports on earth. There are countless drills you can do throughout the year to use as a warm up or if you have something in your swing you need to work on. However, there is one drill that has stood the test of time… tee work. Check out some of these simple but effective Tee Drill videos put together by our expert staff at JustBats.com.
