Passing is done with the arms straight and the ball should bounce off the arms between the wrist and elbow bend. You don't want to pass off of your thumbs.

The hitting is by far the most entertaining part of the game and the reason for the fan base. In order to be the best hitter you have to be able to jump high. Don't worry if you can't jump high right now you will be able to after doing some plyometric workouts.
