Fence Separation Drill
Focus
Hip and Torso Separation

With your back a few inches from a fence, load by turning your hips toward the pitcher while keeping your shoulders against the fence. Feel the stretch across your core, then initiate the swing. This isolates the feeling of separation.

Angled Soft Toss (Attack Angle)
Focus
Bat Path Improvement
Execution
Have a partner toss from a 45-degree angle in front. Focus on getting your hands and barrel behind the ball, matching the plane of the incoming pitch with an upward swing path through contact. The goal is a low line drive.

Kinetic Sequencing and Rhythm
