As you step into the batter's box, take notice of home plate. Right-handed dominant will stand in the box closer to third base. Left-handed dominant will stand in the box closer to first base. Notice that home plate is the shape of a pentagon with the point facing away from the pitcher. Your feet should be "squared away" meaning spread apart shoulder width with your toes point towards the plate. It is also important to flex your knees for balance and comfort. *Depending on the speed of the pitcher and the speed of your bat swing will determine how close up or farther away in the box you stand from the pitcher.
