Load & Separation
Execution
In your stance facing a fence, place the bat knob against it. As you stride, focus on keeping the knob on the fence as long as possible to feel the stretch across your torso before initiating the swing.

Step-Back Drill
Focus
Hip Drive & Sequencing
Execution
From your normal stance, take a short step back with your rear foot, then immediately step forward with your stride foot into the swing. This exaggerates the load on the back hip and promotes a powerful, hip-led rotation.

Opposite Field Front Toss
Focus
Bat Path & Extension
Execution
Have a partner toss balls to the outer half of the plate. Focus on letting the ball travel deep, keeping hands inside the ball, and driving it to the opposite field. This reinforces a long bat path through the zone.
