Step Back Drill
Focus
Front Leg Stability & Resistance
Execution
From the stance, step the back foot behind the front foot. This forces the hitter to load into their back hip and then stride into a firm front side, feeling the front leg 'post up' and resist rotation.

High Tee Extension Drill
Focus
Bat Extension & Power Through Contact
Execution
Place a tee on the outer half of the plate and slightly higher than belt high. The goal is to drive the ball to the opposite field gap, forcing the hands to extend fully through the point of contact.

Offset Closed Stance Drill
Focus
Hip & Torso Separation
Execution
Start in a very closed stance. The hitter must initiate the swing by aggressively opening the hips while keeping the shoulders and hands back, exaggerating the feeling of separation and the 'rubber band' effect.
