Power Hitting: Meet the Ball in Front of Home Plate
Don’t Be a ‘Punchin’-Judy
Imagine a rolled up newspaper. A staggering amount of parent coaching is training hitters to hit the ball as if they had a rolled up newspaper instead of a youth baseball bat. The ball is batted from the pitcher but has no ‘pop’ behind it---hence the name ‘rolled up newspaper’. The late former MLB pitcher, Jim Bibby used to come up to young players and mess with them after a bad batting practice.
He would ask the player teasingly, Hey, Is your name ‘Punchin’? Player would say, What? Jim would say, Your name must to ‘Punchin’ because the way you just hit that ball you looked like a ‘Punchin’ Judy.
‘Punchin’ Judy is code word for professionals that you were late on the swing and you got no power on the ball. You had better hit the weight room or start hitting the ball in front of the plate. Batter waited too long. The ball is too deep over the plate.
Power is practically eliminated.

Youth coaching will teach strategies like: “Make It Be there” “Wait for a good One” “Don’t Help Him Out” “Now lay off that High One” “Be Patient” “A Walk is as good as a Hit” All these stunning strategies cause hitters to be on defense. They kill the main component of good hitters and that is to build confidence so they can swing aggressively.
