    See The Ball, Hit The Ball
    "Hi Joe, I went to your website this morning and was very impressed with not only the site, but the passion you have for this great game of ours! Keep up the good work; people like you are very hard to find."

    Mike Epstein
    ---Former Major League Player of the Washington Senators
    Hitting Instructor

    "...Took a look at your site...great information...keep up the good work."

    Jeff Forney
    ---Arizona Diamonbacks' Strength and Conditioning Coach
    Author of "Complete Conditioning for Baseball"

    "See the ball. This is the most functional and appropriate replacement thought a hitter will ever have in the batter's box. Remember it; use it; value it."

    H.A. Dorfman,
    ---Sports Psychologist to Major League Baseball
    Author of: "The Mental Keys to Hitting", The Mental Game of Baseball", "The Mental ABC's of Pitching"










    --"See the ball: hit the ball" are the words of the great Pete Rose.

    "It's just you and the ball. Remember the difference between a good hitter (.300) and a mediocre hitter (.250) is just one more hit in every 20 at bats...a 5% improvement! So keep in mind the phrase 'see the ball; hit the ball' or as I like to tell our youngsters 'track the ball; whack the ball.'"

    --Coach Joe Hernandez



    See the ball before you stride;
    Make sure it's not in or outside.
    If it happens to be low
    Hold your bat and let it go.
    But if it happens to be any place around
    Take a good swing and hit it downtown.


    ---Walt Williams








    A Hitter With A Full Head Has An Empty Bat
    Without a doubt, the biggest problem affecting the performance of young ballplayers, especially in the area of hitting, is "THINKING TOO MUCH!"

    Will Clark said, "You cannot think while trying to hit the ball." Yogi Berra said, "You can't think and hit at the same time."

    The message is clear...The only thing that matters when you are at the plate is the ball. In order for you to "see the ball" and "hit the ball" you need to be in the batter's box in a relax state, focusing on just the ball and make sure you are NOT THINKING!


    We Are Now Over 265,000 Unique Indexed Links
    Welcome to the most thorough collection of links of baseball resources on the web. There are currently over 210,500 unique links indexed and crossed-indexed throughout www.seetheball.com just in baseball. (over 265,000 with other sport links!) We continue to add hundreds more every week ...visit our link page for dozens of sites and categories. Some of these sites have thousands of indexed links with dozens of additional links.

    Anything and everything you need to find about baseball you will find it at seetheball.com...from baseball history, videos on drills and skills, to the latest baseball stats. If you don't find it here then it probably does not exist or is not worth reading. We update the link section weekly.

    So click on our "Links" button and be prepared to spend hours learning and enjoying everything you ever wanted to know about baseball but were afraid to ask!

    We also have linked dozens of other sport sites in martial arts, soccer, basketball and football. Including videos on plyometrics and strength training as well as tons of information on "kid's health" and children related issues.

    There must be a reason why many "larger" sites are copying our content and style!


    Our Philosophy and Commitment
    We at Seetheball.com believe that kids who have positive sports experiences are more likely to enjoy higher self-esteem, be more self-motivated, and have a stronger sense of teamwork and a better conception of true sportsmanship--on the field and throughout their lives. And when parents are involved in kids' sports activities, the rewards are even greater...for the whole family

    Our philosophy is simple, "Try hard, have fun and be a good sport".
