Strength 2: Maintains excellent head position and stays centered, allowing for stable rotation.
Improvement 1: Developing kinetic chain efficiency; currently lacks hip/torso separation, causing the upper and lower body to rotate together.
Improvement 2: Swing path is long due to hands casting away from the body; needs to focus on keeping hands inside the ball for a more direct path.

Focus
Hip and Torso SeparationExecution
Set up in your stance. As you load, focus on turning your back to the pitcher while your front hip begins to open. Feel the ‘stretch’ across your core. Pause to feel the separation, then complete your swing. This isolates the feeling of the lower body leading the upper body.
Focus
Keeping Hands Inside the BallExecution
Stand facing a fence or net, about a bat’s length away. Take swings without hitting the fence. If your bat hits the fence, your hands are ‘casting’ out. This drill forces you to keep your hands tight to your body, promoting a compact and quick swing.
Focus
Creating a Direct Bat PathExecution
Set up a tee with the ball at the top of the strike zone. The goal is to hit a line drive. This drill discourages dropping the hands and creating a loopy, upward swing. It forces a more direct, ‘A to B’ hand path to the ball.
