How to stop throwing the bat in softball?

Softball is my favorite sport, but I have one small "perk." I have a bad habit of throwing the bat, and its making my team get an out. I get a warning every game. I have no clue why it's so hard for me to hit the ball, drop it, and run. Help? Any tips are appreciated. Thanks!|||Its a head thing. You have to just practice fundamentals if it is becoming so much a problem. It sounds like you are hitting and letting go of the bat all in one motion. You also lose power in your swing when you do that because you are not fully following through on your swing. Try this....put it in your head not to let go of the bat until you take a step towards first with your Front foot. This would mean your swing has stopped and it should just drop to the ground when you let go.|||Try hitting off a tee or someone pitching to you and focus on not letting go and finishing your swing. On the positive side if your able to let go of the bat mid-swing your not rolling your hands (: Learning to finish your swing should eliminate the desire to let go of the bat.|||i have a girl on my team that does the same exact thing. haha. just go out into the yard, have someone fake pitch you the ball, fake swing and then practice SETTING down your bat and running. It has to become a habit just like it did to start throwing the bat.|||I used to do that.. what you're doing is letting go of the bat to run while you're still swinging, causing it to go flying... what you should do is wait just a little longer to let go. I fixed it almost instantly after I told myself to do that.
