Hitting in the Cage
Maximize the benefit of taking swings in the cage with a couple of simple rules...
Notice a couple things about Vito's round of batting practice.
#1 The pace of Vito's swing is smooth and effortless
In the game it is easy to get geared up to take a swing at full speed.
Getting too geared up causes bad habits in practice.
In the cage you aim to take controlled swings.
#2 Vito allows himself plenty of time between swings
Hitting is about preparation and execution. If you never get prepared, you will never be able to execute.
Allow enough time between swings to completely set up your swing for success.
#3 Vito hits until he feels comfortable and then stops
Extra long rounds can cause bad habits as your arms and legs get tired
Depending on how you feel that day a quality round may last 5 or 25 swings. Listen to your body.
