THIS CHANNEL IS ALL ABOUT SOFTBALL (and a lot about slapping)
Wait...What is SLAP HITTING???
For anyone stumbling across my channel who doesn't know what a Slap Hitter is, WELCOME! You are in for a speedy treat. Slappers are the fast, lefties that you see running through the box while they are hitting. Here is a quick video from Natasha Watley (2x Olympian Slapper, UCLA).

My true inspiration comes from my mom (lifelong coach) and India Chiles from Slapper Nation/Tennessee who both played a tremendous role in my progress as a triple threat.

One of the best tutorials I've seen with lots of correct information! One consideration when running through 1B... after passing the bag, turn your head right so you can see an overthrown ball missed by F3 (the first baseman), but don't pivot right and turn your back to 2B. Instead, pivot left so your body is facing 2B. This will allow a move to 2B to be much quicker because you don't have to turn around to start running. In reality, an overthrown ball will be on the ground in foul territory long before the runner can come to a stop and pivot. Practicing a clockwise pivot will create a bad habit. Practice a counterclockwise pivot instead. A minor point, but in this game the details matter! 😀

Learning how to slide is so essential for softball especially because you never know when the situation might occur that you neeed to slide to score or to be safe in a base but I just started playing softball and my coaches barely touch up on it in practices they just tell us to slide but don’t tell me how and I always do I wrong because I WAS NEVER TAUGHT and then during the games I WILL NOT SLIDE bc when I slide I tend to “helicopter” and not “airplane” so I don’t want to look dumb but then I get yelled at for not sliding 😐
