THE COMPLETE HITTER

Drill #1 is designed to help a hitter experiencing a long swing who has difficulties being consistent. We will target the bottom hand and lead arm in the swing, an extremely important part to producing efficient swing mechanics.

Drill #2 is designed to help a hitter experiencing a long swing with difficulties staying strong at contact. We will target the top hand and back arm.

Drill #3 is a combination of both Drill #1 and #2. As we progress through these muscle memory feels, you will see the swing start to come together.

Drill #4 strictly targets how the hips should fire in our swing to create bat speed and power. If a hitter doesn’t generate power from the hips, they will struggle to hit the ball with authority.

Drill #5 is where we start to combine lower body movements with upper body movements in our muscle memory feels.

Drill #6 serves as the same feel of separation in Drill #5, but now it’s with our top hand and back arm. This specific feel will train an important part of a swing that allows us to be adjustable to different pitch speeds and different pitch locations.

Drill #7 is where the whole swing comes together. Feeling specific movements of the swing in a step-by-step process will help the hitter understand how the body needs to work to be strong and efficient towards the baseball.

In the Knob to Ball Drill, we will be feeling the hands working tight to our body. This action will give the hitter direct feedback on whether they are keeping their hands tight to their body or casting their hands away from their body which comes from leading with a straight front arm.

In this video, you will gain a better understanding of what your approach should be during tee work.

A variation of work we can do off a tee or in front toss will help in finding certain ways to feel rhythm and emphasize the importance of how the legs should work in a swing.

In our single hand work off the tee, we are focusing on having the correct bat path to stay direct to the baseball.

In your Front Toss session, this is a perfect time to work on your own unique needs. During this video, we are focusing on staying toward the middle of the field.

During Batting Practice, it is now time to shift to competing. While we can still focus on proper mechanics, we don’t want to get too caught up in our swing. Emphasizing efficient swing mechanics is for our drill work.
