Make the playing catch interesting by turning it as a little competition during practice. 3. Hitting - Making children learn hit baseball is the most difficult skill a coach needs to learn. Children need different set of instructions as every student has different set of skills, style and approach on baseball. Thus, it is very important for parents and coaches to guide kids in taking necessary safety precautions. One of the most effective ways that lets kids learn baseball safety is by using the discovery method, a technique where kids discover the answer for themselves. It works by giving kids demonstration of the skill they need to do, then, letting players tell what is going on with the drill and letting them find out the technique or skill themselves. As it is, out is the number one offense in baseball. The second highest goal (number one is making runs) is to minimize the number of outs one can possibly make. Batting The batter has the most chances of making outs. The batter is out if his ball is caught by a fielder in a fair territory before it touches the ground (called a line out or a fly out). Consisting of the shortstop, first baseman, second baseman, and third baseman, infielders defend the four bases to keep the opponents from running a score. To achieve this goal, infielders perform different moves such as fielding bunts and catching fly balls. Infielders must also get an offensive player out by throwing the ball to the right base. However, there are many rules regarding base running. A runner has to touch all the bases going around the infield. He has to touch first, second, third and then the home plate before he can score a run. (He has to go back to that plate if he misses touching them.) He cannot pass a fellow runner in front of him.
