I have a related tip -- only really applies to Tee-ball, though:

You can literally pick kids up and move them around in the batter's box to try to get them to hit it past the weak spots in the defense. What? Third baseman's on his knees picking individual blades of grass and carefully inspecting each one before placing them in his glove, which is no longer on his hand? Bam -- you're going down the line with this one, Jimmy! Wait, seriously? That second baseman's still looking into the stands waving at his Nanna and Papa while they try to figure out how to take his pic with the hand-me-down iPhone his Mommy gave them earlier this week? Boom -- you're burning this one right by him, Bobby!

Oh, and if you're thinking of giving me a hard time about my credentials, forget it: I'm drawing on two full years of Tee-ball coaching experience/domination here, so I know what I'm talking about.

Granted, it's not for every batter to move around if they have the quickness. This may not be taught at the youth or high school level. It is definitely taught at the higher levels.

A great example is when Davis hit a HR off Chapman in the Gm 6 of the WS. He was back in the box and choked up on his bat. 1 ft closer the distance adds 3 to 5 mph to the batters eyes.

You said he was back in the box but then said you assumed he was? So you do not know for sure he moved back in the box? Enlarged video below and you decide was he back in the box or normal?
