It is performed by a pitcher in baseball and softball who stand at the pitcher’s plate. Elements of Pitching: Wind-up Keep the front part of the right foot in contact with the side of the plate. Shift the weight to the back leg and take a backward step. Pivot Pivoting in Baseball - the front foot to turn parallel to the plate. Lift the left foot. Stride Take a wide step with your left foot then release the ball. Follow-through After releasing the ball, continue the forward motion, with the throwing arm pointing to the target ball.

In this skill, you must consider also the following elements: Grip, stance, stride and swing. Subject: PE-G08, Executes the skills involved in the sport. Richmindale® is a trademark of Richmindale College LLC, USA  Elements of Batting: Slide 15 Grip To get an effective grip, lay the handle of the bat across the fingers of both hands, then wrap your hands around the bat. Don’t hold the bat in the palms, as this doesn’t allow you to flex and rotate your wrists as well when you swing. Keep a light grip on the bat until the moment you contact the ball to maximize your speed. Stance Place your feet shoulder width apart or slightly wider. Your feet should be parallel to one another and aligned direct under your shoulder. If you’re right handed, your left side should be facing the pitcher, with your head pointed in the direction the ball will be coming from. If you’re left handed, it will be your right side. Above all, your stance should be comfortable. Stride Place it where you stride when your front foot lands, open or closed. If you are not striding directly back at the pitcher, you'll feel it under your foot immediately. If you can land in the same spot with good alignment and direction back toward the pitcher, you have a better chance of hitting the ball consistently.

Try to stay upright as you rotate so you don’t come off your axis. Once the ball leaves the pitcher’s hand, step out very slightly with the front foot. Only move the foot 2-3 inches and be careful not to come out of alignment in your core as you step. This will increase the power of your swing by adding directional force to the motion of the hips and shoulders. Catching It is a defensive skill used to receive a thrown ball and batted ball.
