Hit to the opposite field to advance a runner on base. You'll want to hit toward the base behind the runner, so even if you ground out, the runner will advance. Of course, this move won't work so well if your ground out is the final out of the inning.
Look for an outside pitch, which will make your hit to the opposite field easier
Swing late on the ball. Be patient and wait longer than normal.
