A-Mac First Exhibition Game

A-Mac played her first exhibition game at Roselea. It may be a long season for her team. A-Mac struck out in the first inning but followed with a line drive to right center for a double her second at bat, arguably the best hit for the team. She batted 5th. I have suggested that A-Mac needs to be an outfield line drive hitter, and drive in runs. It is OK to strike out as long as taking good swings and always having a hit to the outfield in the next at bat. She is not a "slap" or punch-n-judy hitter.

A-Mac can still improve her batspeed. She needs to make sure she doesn't drop her hands or the bat head on her load, and that her left shoulder doesn't open too early. When her timing is on she is going to hit the ball a LONG way.

In the video below she had an OK swing and hit the ball in the sweat spot for a line drive double to right center.

A-Mac played "impeccable" first base making several nice plays on bad throws. Who would have known that she would be a first baseman. She did well.
