If a pitcher sees you fiddling with the bat, he'll stall until your arms are tired before you even get a chance to hit.

Let the pitcher move first, then, as he draws his arm back, you draw the bat back and you are ready.

Be relaxed and don't wave the bat, don't clench it. Be ready to hit down with the barrel of the bat. Just swing it and let the weight drive the ball.

I have an Alka Seltzer bat. You know, plop plop fizz fizz. When the pitcher sees me walking up there they say, 'Oh what a relief it is.'
