Hope this video was helpful!! What are some of your athletes speed from home to first base?

[@coltriley8798]

What about left handers? Would it be better to just teach them slap hitting so they have the option?

[@NatashaWatley29]

@@coltriley8798 Absolutely if they have some speed! It will only make them more of a threat at the plate!

[@coltriley8798]

@@NatashaWatley29 how much speed? My daughter is some where in the middle on her team as far as speed goes. So what would you say the bare minimum time from home to first should be for a 12u player before you would start working on slap hitting?

[@NatashaWatley29]

@@coltriley8798 Next week I have a video that talks about that!!!

[@dogpatch75]

For 14U, 3.0 sec or less from the left side (contact with the ball to contact with 1B) is a good rule-of-thumb starting point for a natural lefty, but be careful trying to turn a righty around. Success here will depend entirely on the athlete's overall abilities and determination, not just speed. Slapping is an awesome tool, but is not the end-all/be-all. There are common game situations where opportunities will be lost if your slapper cannot also swing normally and hit successfully from the left side.

What age should they be under that time? My 10u is around a 3 and is the fastest on her team by a long shot.

great video Natasha! I haven't played in a long time, but I love this ! And I was slow as molasses around the bases. Good thing I hit for power :-)

[@AdrieneBueno]

[@lashayreyes8443]

i need some help

[@mikemarszalec809]

Natasha, what’s the best way to measure speed down the line? With a swing?

[@michaeldudley9374]

I watched this video last month when my 7yr old asked to slap

[@indybruins919]

Do you measure the time from contact or on the first step?

[@donniesmith2430]

I have 4 girls 2.7 to 2.8.
