      You need a shorter (but quicker) step out of the batters box. The longer your feet are off the ground, the longer it takes to gain acceleration.
      If you watch great sprinters or football players at the combines do their 40s, their steps are shorter until they hit top speed.

      How do I practice getting out of the box faster? Do I go through the motions? Should I practice as part of my routine at the cage?
