ZtPI ww AW FOR THE 1 7 KATE AS sA mTU BAB SOX WINflFJH EBBA Standings Base running begins in the batter's box when you hit the ball. How you (tart is as Important as it Is in sprint races at track meets. Everyone knows how often a base runner arrives at a base less than a stride behind the ball. If a left-handed batter doesn't swing too hard, his body motion will be In the direction of first base as he completes his swing, and his first stride will be directly toward first base with his rear foot. You might not think that a power hitter like led Williams would pay attention to this detail, but nobody in baseball gets away from home plate with better body action than Williams uses. It is more difficult for right-handed hitters to get a good break from the plate if they are pulling the ball to left field. However, it is possible to do so by maintaining good body balance, and plenty of practice should be given to taking a full swing and follow through and (till keeping the body from falling toward third base at the finish. The first step toward first base should be with the back foot Many experts hail another power hitter, Rogers Hornsby, as the right-hander who could get away from the plate the fastest aftof bitting the ball.
