Now that most games are played with a 1 n 1 count be more aggressive don’t fall behind the pitcher. On the first pitch look for your pitch to do what you want to do. If the pitcher gets that first strike on you with already a 1 n 1 now keep in your mind open to use the whole field go with the pitch hit it where it should go you will be a lot more successful…

3. Concentrate and focus on the bottom of the ball, in order to get it in the air. Make the outfielders get you out.

Vee’s Personal Hitting Tip: Video some of your BP sessions so that you can be sure you are hitting strikes and work with a hitting coach to work on the technical aspects of your swing.

Veronica has enjoyed an almost 20-year career playing with a core group of ladies that have been known for the last 9-10 years as KRYPTONITE. It’s a real rarity in slow pitch softball to have the kind of long term success that she has had with this group. Veronica is known for her consistent ability to move the ball around the field taking advantage of defenses. She can play all of the outfield positions with equal ability and controls baserunners by getting the ball in quickly.
