Front Leg Post Drill
Focus
Front Leg Stability
Execution
Take swings off a tee or from soft toss. Concentrate on landing on a slightly bent front knee and then actively 'posting up' by straightening and bracing the leg as the hips rotate. This creates a firm wall to hit against, maximizing energy transfer.

Torso Separation 'Look Back' Drill
Focus
Load & Separation
Execution
In your stance, as you load, try to show the numbers on your back to the pitcher while keeping your lower half stable. Feel the stretch across your core, then initiate the swing with the hips. This exaggerates the feeling of separation.

High and Inside Tee Drill
Focus
Hands Inside Ball & Bat Path
Execution
Place a tee on the inside corner of the plate at belt height. Focus on keeping hands tight to the body and turning the barrel behind the ball to drive it fair. This reinforces a short, quick path to the inside pitch.
