内角球应对方式
Also known as: 处理内角球, 拉打内角球
内角球应对方式是打击本垒板内三分之一投球的技术——把双手拉近身体，让棒头提前穿过，把球打向拉打方向。
内角球必须在本垒板前方触球，因为棒头如果太晚伸展就会造成绕棒。打者必须让双手贴近身体（“待在球内侧”），并在挥棒弧线更早的阶段旋转穿过触球区。把双手甩出去，或者把球等得太深，会造成卡手的触球。良好的内角球应对方式，能让打者把好球拉打进空档，惩罚那些专攻内角的投手。
Practice inside-pitch tee work with the tee set at the front corner of the plate and focus on keeping your hands close to your body all the way through the contact point.
Use high-speed video to confirm your contact point on inside pitches is at least 6–8 inches in front of the plate. This means any deeper and you're arriving too late to generate pull-side power.
Example
一颗内半区的投球迫使打者把双手紧紧拉近身体、拉转触球，把球打向左外野边线方向，形成长打。
How it shows up on video
A proper inside-pitch contact will show the hands driving in close to the body with bent elbows through impact. The ball will be met clearly in front of the plate. Hitters who get jammed will show contact near the handle with the hands caught extended or away from the body. High-speed video at the contact frame will confirm whether the barrel was through the zone early enough to catch the inside pitch with the sweet spot.
Common mistakes
- Extending the hands outward (casting) before the barrel is through the zone, causing the bat to arrive late and produce jammed contact near the handle
- Pulling the front shoulder out of the zone early, steering the barrel away from the inside pitch and reducing power to the pull side
- Confusing an inside pitch with a ball and taking it for a called strike by failing to recognize it early enough in the zone
- Trying to drive an inside pitch to the opposite field, which requires the barrel to arrive even later and produces nothing but weak contact

Motion Lab measures the contact point distance in front of the plate and compares barrel path angle to the pitch's horizontal location, confirming whether the hitter reached the correct contact point for inside pitches.
Frequently asked questions
为什么内角球比中间球更难拉打？
因为棒头必须在挥棒弧线更早的阶段到达触球区前方——任何延迟都会让投球到达太深的位置，造成卡手接触，而不是拉打方向的力量。
“待在球内侧”是什么意思？
意思是在整个挥棒过程中，让双手比棒头更贴近身体，确保棒头沿着一条直接路径到达触球点，而不是双手先甩出去。
