The Grand Slam USA Hitting Leagues
are entering their 24th year of competition. Each year the popularity of the league grows and the competition gets better.
The valuable practice the league provides never stops paying off. Several of the same teams that make it to the district
and regional finals on the baseball and softball fields during the spring are the same teams seen at Grand Slam over the winter
in the hitting leagues. Those swings do pay off!
The Hitting League provides the serious player with an opportunity to keep his/her hitting skills sharp during the "off-season".
If your goal is to win a spot in the starting lineup or to improve your batting average by 50 points - you'll get the edge
on your competition at Grand Slam's Hitting Leagues.
For those not familiar with the Hitting League concept, here's a brief explanation. A game has seven innings.
Each player "bats" every inning and receives six pitches. Points are awarded for line-drives hit into designated areas
of the net, and for successful bunts. Players for each team alternate until the innings are completes. At the
end of the last inning the team with the most points wins. Sounds just like a ballgame to me!
Aside from the obvious fun aspects of the Hitting League, there are tremendous developmental benefits. We all have observed
the "pressure" players experience in game competition. We have also observed how little players experience pressure
in practice situations. The Hitting Leagues create a situation where a player can practice under "semi-pressure" situations.
Each team consists of 4 players with alternates. League standings and individual averages are tallied each week.
T-shirts are awarded for Team Champions. Grand Slam also provides a FREE AGENT list, if you would like to play and don't
have a team. Call Grand Slam at 614-890-7526 to sign-up or for more information. Bonus: Pay full league fee by deadline and your team receives $10 in tokens FREE!
