- In this video I discuss the importance of being able to drive the ball the other way! Great hitters can use the field and make adjustments when needed. Creating an approach is key, but learning to go the other way with pop is a must at the higher levels.
Hope the drills help!!!!
good video i’ve been trying to help one of my teammates with this but i really confuse people when i’m trying to explain what i do, showed him this ✊🏼
Good information. My son is what you described at the end. Pulls inside pitches hard and lays off outside pitches. Also still tries to get around with his arms too much so he ends up overextending and putting ball to the handle too much. Working on fixing that and then these drills will be great. Thank you.
Very welcome! Hope it helps
Great discussion --- with our 10 year olds ....... the first thing is getting them to recognize the weak contact on the outside pitches ..... then the light goes on and they want to adjust and try to drive the pitch on the outer third
why do you want 10 yr old to hit down towards 2nd/1st? easy out.
if they hit towards 3rd, they are more likely to get to 1st base safely. we just finished the spring season so this is what i was noticing.
why did you change your channel? you are my go to batting coach for my 11 yo son. This is a really good drill to fix a short swing
Josh, I want to ask you about contact points. I heard you say a couple of times to make sure the front foot is aligned to the front part of the plate. With relation to where you want the contact to come, are you focused more on plate position of the ball or position of the ball relative to the front leg? With players having different positions in the box, the contact point on the plate may be more 'out front' but still in strong contact position in the swing. What do you recommend for positioning in the batters box? Based on what I've heard, I'd guess you'd say start where when you land in launch position your front door is even with the front of home plate. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks for the video.
Contact point is always relative to front foot not homeplate; but I like using homeplate as a reference for young players so I generally have them set up so their stride gets them even with then front of the plate.
