Most of Derek’s new knowledge came at the plate where he learned techniques from other players, where he was schooled on the art of hitting to all fields. Different pitches in different locations required different swings and the quicker he reacts than the faster he would reach the major leagues with all-stars players. Although Derek Jeter took hitting instructions he was having problems because he would struggle .200 all summer long in his first season and he also let his hitting effect his fielding. (Swiryn) He booted 21 balls in 58 games at stops with the New York’s rookie level team in Tampa and even with the Greensboro Hornets. His minor league manager Gary Denbo assured him this was fundamental stuff and it was easy to fix through repetition.
All nine positions play a role in getting the three outs needed to end each inning. For instance, the catcher has to throw base runners out when stealing, the first and third basemen must be ready for the bunt or a line drive hit towards them, and the outfielders have to be able to cover a great amount of ground for a fly ball. Every position is essentila. If a puzzle piece is missing,the puzzle goes unfinished. Like every sport there is a process that must be taken to become pro.

I am here today to explain to you all exactly w hy the MLB should just get rid of the designated hitter all together. First of all, baseball is an offensive and defensive game for all players. Secondly, the designated hitter takes away the “small ball” from the game and makes a manager’s job much easier. (explain small ball) Thirdly, with a designated hitter there are a lot more “beanballs” in the American League. (explain beanball) So, let’s begin.
What does a championship winning baseball team look like? Are they the hulking, barrel-chested cousins of Paul Bunyan? The answer is rarely. The game of baseball has evolved from teams with the most homeruns always being the victors, to teams with smaller and faster players playing David to the league’s Goliaths. The manner in which a player’s talent is evaluated has been changing ever since a man named Bill James first published his “Historical Baseball Abstract” in 1977.
But each new generation of metal bats turned out to be more potent -- and dangerous. An increasing number of serious injuries stemming from hard-hit balls prompted various organizations, including the National Collegiate Athletic Association, to look at the bats and begin placing limits on the type of alloys allowed or to change altogether. A batter can hit the ball off the handle of an aluminum bat, and instead of breaking, as wood often does, the bat sends the ball looping over the infield for a single or along one of the foul lines for a double. ''You hit the ball with an aluminum bat and it goes,'' Bernazard said. ''With wood bats, you have to hit the ball in the 4 or 5 inches of the meat of the bat.

The distance at which the trampoline is placed from the batter who is also the thrower is in direct correlation to the distance of the line that is to be hit past. The game starts with the batter/ thrower, hucking the ball into the trampoline so that it bounces back and is in a good position to be hit. The batter/thrower will then pick up the bat and attempt to hit the ball that he just pitched past the aforementioned line. If the ball is to fall past said line a point is scored, and if not then an out is administered. In total there are 69 pitches to be thrown and in order to be the victor of Freudian baseball one must successfully hit 35 balls past the line.
A catcher could be behind the plate and no baserunner has been on all night, but the one time there is he has to be on high alert. Once he hears the word 'RUNNER' he has to react and try to throw him out at second. A baseball player has to be locked into the game twenty-four seven to give his team the best chance to win. It is easy to lose focus when you haven't gotten a ball all game or are sitting the bench but when you get your shot, you better be ready or the ball will expose you to everyone. All sports have different physical aspects to each individual sport and even each position, but baseball has not only the physical aspects of the game but the mental side that no sport can mount to.
