Some advice on two strike hitting from Marc

Last night, I was doing a 30-minute consultation witha 14-year-old young lady that is part of package ofa package her dad bought for her.
I've got to tell ya, I was impressed by the quality ofher questions. It's nice to see a young lady that focusedand eager to get better.
I really much enjoyed my conversation with her.
Most of her questions were on how to get faster and howto get better results at the plate.
On the hitting side, one thing she said she struggleswith is hitting with two strikes as she gets all nervous.
So we talked a lot about effective two-strike hitting for a while.
To see what my philosophy is on two-strike hitting andwhat are some possible adjustments, check out the videoI posted on my blog:

In a nutshell, I say that with 2 strikes against you,the odds are usually not stacked in your favor unlessyou have three balls.
So, instead of being too defensive, you want to makesure of two things:
- If you go down, go down swinging.
- If you decide to go after a pitch, not matterwhich one it is, make sure you swing hard in orderto make something happen unless you mean to foul itoff voluntarily.
I also discussed other possible adjustments that youcan read about at:

However, the main message is never go down without a fight.
