If you’re making contact with the ball often and getting on base frequently but can’t remember the last time you hit a home run, then you’re likely a contact hitter.
Contact hitters excel at making consistent contact with the ball, focusing on singles and doubles rather than power hits. Your role in the lineup is crucial: getting on base and advancing runners, especially those on third.
As a contact hitter, your bat choice can make all the difference. Balanced bats, with their evenly distributed weight, offer higher swing speeds and greater control through the hitting zone.
This balance helps you maintain precision, making it easier to place the ball where the defense isn’t.
