Outside Pitch Hitting Drill

How do we teach our hitter to properly cover the outside pitch and hit the ball hard?

In this drill, the first thing we need to do is make sure the baseball/softball is set up in the proper place in  relation to the player and his stance.  Make sure that the ball is about an inch from the outside corner and about 1 baseball length from the front edge of home plate. The hitter should think about hitting a hard line drive right over the 2nd baseman's head.

Soft Toss Away Hitting Drills

How do we teach our hitter to properly cover the outside pitch and hit the ball hard?

In this drill, the first thing we need to do is make sure that person doing the soft toss is tossing the ball to the proper place in relation to the hitter's stance. If you are at a bit of an angle, you should aim at the hitters back hip. When the ball gets to home plate, it will be in the proper place for the hitter. The hitter should think about hitting a hard line drive right over the 2nd baseman's head.

Swing Path Hitting Drill

What is the proper swing path for our hitter?

In this drill we want the hitter to understand the proper path for their swing. We want the hitter to limit their lower body movement, so they concentrate on their hand and swing path. We want to make sure that we keep our hands tight to our body as the hands come forward to the baseball/softball. As we start to get to the ball, we want to extend our hands/arms out and through the ball. This will keep us short to the ball and long through our finish.

  •  Net or Field To Hit Into 
  •  Bat 
  •  Bucket of Baseball/Softballs 
  •  Tee
