This drill also forces the hitter to stay balanced and keep a firm lower base.
Baseballs (10-15)
Sock Screen / Fence
Bat
This is a more advanced drill that may not be effective with younger players.
Players can do this in pairs or in groups of three (each group needs 6-10 baseballs).
Have players find an area next to a screened fence or the side of a batting cage.
Get one player to kneel in front and to the side of the hitter and toss a ball with little or no arc in front of them.
After the hitter has had 10-15 quality swings, have players switch.
The balls should be accurately tossed above the batters waist with little or no arc.
The pitcher should keep the delivery consistent so the hitter can work on timing.
Make sure hitter is striding and pivoting correctly, rotating hips, and throwing their hand straight to the ball.
