Purpose

Teaches player to hit the inside pitch.

Drill Setup

Setup two tees. The back one should be in the middle of the plate and set lower than the other tee. The front tee is set up on the inside part of the plate.

How It Works

Batter tries to hit the ball off the front tee without hitting the ball on the back tee.

Coaching Tips

• Batter should focus on having a short, compact swing and keeping her hands inside the ball to hit for power and consistency.
• If the batter has a tendency to “cast out” or wrist extend to soon, she will knock the first ball off when swinging.
