Keep practicing and playing as much as you can.\n\nGet in a gym by yourself and shoot from all areas of the court within your range.\n\nWork on your release and use proper form.\n\nConcentrate on every shot from each different angle and spot you are shooting from.\n\nIn a game try to realx and shoot the same way as you do in practice even though there will probably be someone running at you or getting a hand up to bother you.\n\nIn baseball get out on the diamond and have a pitcher or pitchers thow some balls in to you and again concentrate on using good form and technique when swinging the bat.\n\nYou also have to have a good eye and know what pitches to swing at.\n\nYou can't expect to hit pitches that are out of the strike zone with any consistency.\n\nIf you practice and play a lot you will become as good as you possibly can and you should become a fairly good player and be able to enjoy the game.\n\nMost of us will never become pros and remember you have to have a certain amount of natural athletic ability to begin with.\n\nSome people do and some don't so don't feel bad if you are not that great but also just enjoy being the best player you can possibly be if you are on a team at any level.

http://www.baseball-almanac.com/scoring2.shtml\nhttp://www.baseball-almanac.com/scoring3.shtml\n\nthis is the best site to learn from, as i did\n\nThe Scorecard \nThe form appears complex but once examined makes perfect sense.\n\nInnings run across the top. Spaces for the player name along the side. There are extra spaces for pinch hitters and extra spaces for an extra inning game. Each grid, where the inning and player name meet, has a small diamond that represents the actual playing field. Spaces on the right side of the sheet are used for tracking the players final statistics at the end of the game.\n\nYou begin by filling in the players name using the team line-up. Use a second page to place the visiting team's line-up on a card. When each player comes to bat in an inning you fill in the small diamond with the appropriate code and actions taken.\n \n\n\nKnowing The Player Numbers \nThere may be many different methods of scoring and many different types of scorecards but there is only one player numbering system. You have probably heard the play-by-play announcer on television or radio call a play "6 to 4 to 3" then mention what a great infield and double play combination your favorite team has. He is using the following chart to describe the play and you should memorize this chart and be able to recall it as easy as you can recall your favorite players vitals.\n\n\n \n\n\nBasic Abbreviations \nAbbreviation  Definitions \n1B Single \n2B Double \n3B Triple \nBB Base on Balls \nBK Balk \nCS  Caught Stealing \nDP Double Play \nDH Designated Hitter \nE Error \nFC  Fielder's Choice \nFO Force-Out \nHBP Hit By Pitch \nHR Home Run \nI  Interference \nIW Intentional Walk \nK Strikeout \nPB Passed Ball \nSB Stolen Base \nSF Sacrifice Fly \nSH Sacrifice Hit \nWP Wild Pitch

Depends what position you are playing and how many outs there are, etc. You have a force out at second but not third, so most likely that's your best play. If there are two outs, throw to first or second, depending on which one's the easiest play. If less that two outs and you are playing the infield, try looking back the runner at third and holding him there before thowing to first or second to save a run. If the runner at third is going home and you're confident you can get him tagged out, you may want to throw to the catcher.

Yahoo is a really good site to play fantisy baseball because you can play in a public league or private. Also good ones are ESPN and SI.

You need to have very quick reactions because you are closer to the batter.  Watch the batter to anticipate where the ball is going to go.  Third base requires a strong throwing arm (to first) and first requires great catching skills.  Be prepared for a few knocks at either position.

4-3 Free Fire\nif on PS2....\nL1 up or down..(Depending on if you think run or pass), R1 up, Triangle right, Triangle down, then R1 up or down on the right joystick (Depending on if you think run or pass)....Control your MLB....If it looks like a run flick down on the Right joystick to commit to run...if it turns out to be a play action run your MLB in the area you think the QB will pass too....works all day against computer....against friends I usually mix it up with some good zone plays using the same button combos.

www.go-outside.com... The best place to learn to play second base is on the diamond with someone hiting grounders to you. Work on soft hands, footwork and your angles to the ball. Then work on taking throws from the shortstop and making the turn to first. The best way to place somehting in the baseline to throw around. Then work on getting out to the outfiled to be a good cut-off man. work on lining yourself in-between the outfileder and the base. Then work on turning toward your gloveside and throwing a dart to the bag. \n~~~~~~~~\nbut if you want more detail go to----->www.qcbaseball.com

I know what you're asking for, but I don't think I can give you a great answer.  The best way I can think of answering your question is that you are trying to make contact with the ball; you are trying to strike it with the bat.  You swing and miss or do not swing at a potential good pitch, which will equal to your first attempt of striking the ball.\n\nHa ha ha.....not sure if that's true, but after I read this, surprises me..sounds like it's the right answer.

Best Answer - Chosen By Voters\n\n1. Hide the ball in your glove. \n\n2. Grip the ball with your middle and index fingers perpendicular to the seams at their widest point, with your thumb underneath the ball. \n\n3. Spread your top fingers apart slightly and keep your ring finger and pinkie tucked into your palm. (Image 1) \n\n4. Hold the ball firmly, applying pressure with your middle finger and thumb. Try not to let the ball rest in the palm of your hand, and keep your index finger relaxed. (Image 2) \n\n5. Wind up into the pitch. Use the same pitching motion as in your other pitches so that the batter cannot predict a curveball. (Image 3) \n\n6. Keep your wrist relaxed. After drawing back the pitch, hold your wrist so that the back of your hand points toward your body. (Image 4) \n\n7. Roll your wrist downward and to the right (if you are right-handed) or to the left (if you're left-handed) immediately before releasing the pitch. (Image 5) \n\n8. Release the pitch and follow through by bending your wrist. A right-hander should finish with the palm facing in toward the chest. The top of your thumb should be facing up. \n\n9. Throw the ball between the batter and home plate if you're a left-handed pitcher facing a left-handed batter or if you're a right-handed pitcher facing a right-handed batter.

It all depends on what you need to work on. by knowing your weakness it helps out a lot. Here are some hitting tips. get about 3 of your baseball buddies and get 3 balls(plastic woffel balls) and a bat, have your 3 friends stand about 40 feet back depending on the wind. have them discuss which one is going to throw the ball. only one should throw. once they have decided get in your batting stance. tell them you are ready, they will all 3 go through a pitching motion and the one person will throw the ball but you don't know which one have them throw the ball accurate it don't have to be fast. this will help you pick the ball up as soon as the pitcher releases the ball. it sounds stupid and might seem goofy but the results will show in a big game situation. make sure you don't swing at balls. you don't want to start bad habits even if its only a woffol ball. what you do in practice is reflected in what you do in games.

Start with a good grip, fingers spread lightly across the laces, thumb and forefinger making a "U" that cradles the tail of the ball. The strength of your grip should come primarily from your thumb, middle and ring fingers. The bigger your hands (or the smaller the ball), the farther back you can grip, and the easier it will be to achieve a spiral.\n Stand with your feet directly beneath your hips, keeping your non-throwing hip facing the target. Grip the ball solidly with your throwing hand while cupping it lightly with your nonthrowing hand. As in baseball, most of a good throw's power will come from your legs and trunk, so steady your base as you focus on the target.\n\n* As you prepare to throw, begin opening your hips and trunk toward your target. Uncoil your hips first, then your torso and shoulders. As you cock the ball back behind your ear, its nose will face behind you. As your arm moves from the cocked position over-head, your forearm should cross over your elbow as your hand extends in the direction you wish to throw.\n\n* The ball's spiral depends on your release. Let go with your thumb as you throw, letting the ball rotate as the laces move off your fingertips. As your hand and wrist turn over, imparting all-important spin, you should follow through with your palm facing the ground.\n\nThe wrist-flick that imparts spin can be difficult to learn; initially, it may be easier to involve your palm in the motion, letting the ball rotate from the flat of your hand to your fingertips to get more rotation. This move will sacrifice some power, but it will be easier for you to feel how the ball should spin as it comes off the hand. Feel is what this is about. Even in a game of power - of brute violence - feel is crucial. And few things feel better than a perfect spiral, straight, tight and true.

Correct hitting technique requires that you make a jabbing motion with the handle of the bat prior to the swing. A good way to teach this is to do a drill that slows the mechanics down into small steps.  Break it down into steps that he can walk through slowly again and again to move the motions into muscle memory. \n\n1. Relax (bat on shoulder), 2. Ready (bat up, knees bent etc), 3. Jab (as you step, handle of bat jabs toward pitcher), 4. Swing (bring bat around, turn wrists etc).  The jabbing step insures that the bat will not swing until it is in front of the batter.  I had good luck with this drill during my 10 years of coaching.

do the basics: keep your bat back, crouch at the plate, and turn your back foot when you swing and use your entire body weight, not just your arms, to swing.

unfortunately he's talking about soccer... \n\njust kick the ball on its side with your big toe, and continue  with your side of your foot. kinda hard to describe online.   \n\n\np.s. baseball is better
