Telling right handed batters
With a runner on 3rd
To AFTER swinging and hitting the pitch
To drop the bat on the 1st base side
( think dropping it *guess* into the left side batters box or up line a little)
Post comes from a recent incident
A 10u tb coach berating a 10 year old for not dropping her bat correctly
after she hit the ball.
After the mom explained the story. I said wow I've never bin told to do that with my bat. And can't recall ever seeing a right-handed batter purposely do that.
Same day an hour later at lessons outdoors... a baseball player who played Pro who owns hitting facility nearby was jogging by and shouted out 'Hey Turbo'
I took the opportunity and called him over and I asked him if he had ever heard a right-handed batter purposely drop the bat to the first base side and he said
"He never did that" and
"no, can't say anyone's ever coached me to do that"
He commented
At bat he's "thinking of hitting the ball and getting to the bases. Its the catchers job to take care of the bat if its in the way."
