The purpose of this study is to get the basic data for build up the systematic coaching method, to elucidate key coaching points related to movement in baseball hitting, to integrate and assemble these points, to elicit experiential knowledge from expert baseball coaches. Forty guidance books of baseball hitting were published in Japan which were transcribed onto text data, and divided into segments on the basis of meaning unit. We labeled “target parts (posture, axis, head and face, arm, viewpoint, trunk, hip, leg, object, equipment)” and “movement phase (stance, take back, top, step, approach, impact, follow-through and comprehensive)” to these text data. For this process, we conducted triangulation to improve reliability and validity. We extracted 3215 units and analyzed the number of each labels. The most frequent label was “equipment” and the next frequent label was “leg” and “arm” and “trunk”. These results suggest that key coaching points of baseball hitting shift from “leg” to “trunk” to “arm” in progress of movement phase. From the number of “target parts” in “movement phase” suggest that baseball hitting is coached for target both the comprehensive and partial, and it became clear what many baseball coaches were coaching who have common knowledge in the movement phase.
