The only way to get over your fear is to keep doing it. Keep putting yourself in that situation and you will get use to it. Practice in a batting cage to get better swinging at fast pitches where you know you won't get hit. And, as bad as it sounds....it'll get easier after you get hit by a pitch or two. It hurts but it isn't that bad.
Good luck.

hey, fast pitchers can be tough, but there not unhittable. I know it can be hard, espcially if the kid is wild, but relax, tell your self to you can hit the kid. Stand back in the box and pick up the ball as soon as possible. Time him as much as you can before you get to the plate to help build ur confindence. Baseball is more mental than anything else. If you keep your self calm you will get a hit. Take deep breaths and wiggle your fingers around to help stay relaxed. Most imporantly just belive you can hit the kid and just do it.

Ever seen a major league fastball, or worse a, good curve rolling off the table at around 85 mph going straight down !
My Uncle pitched for the Dodgers, lit me up. I was so scared, and I didn't have a catcher's mitt, curve balls dropping in the dirt !
My hand burned for 3 weeks afterwards. If you can hit a major league curve ball, you can get out in front of the fastball, and take it deep on a flat pitch ! Button your chin strap and get out of the way if it hangs inside and does not break !

under no circumstances say under no circumstances... There an effective kind of hitting pitchers. That aside, pitchers do not make investments a lot time in batting practice, considering his contribution to the crew's fulfillment will better in all probability be on the mound.
