Teaching young children the mechanics of how to hit a baseball or softball can be difficult due to the required body positioning and coordination. Proper foot placement within a batter’s box is necessary for learning how to hit a baseball. Most children learning to swing a bat requires a coach to continually position and reposition their feet near a tee or home plate. Once a child swings the bat, the child often forgets exactly where their feet are supposed to be positioned while hitting. The coach then must attend to the child and reposition their feet. Also the below diagram shows positioning a batter in order to hit balls to different directions in relation to a baseball field, such as left field, center field, and right field. The diagram is used to help position foot placement of a second user, such as a catcher, coach or umpire.
