Waggle Drill
2 waggles into a swing. Create some rhythm by staying loose & whippy with the hands & wrists
How loose can you be and create easy pop?
#waggledrill
Simple athletic move that keeps hitter on time, facilitates vision, and feeling “behind” the ball. Ultimately creating zone coverage, adjustability and building consistency.
Angle In BP w/ Long Bat
Work inside & stay out of your shoulders. Let gravity be your friend
Different lengths, weights, & barrel sizes but still find a way to get barrel on ball consistently
#anglebp#barrelaccuracy
Bottom hand no rotate w/ scissor
For me, it’s a good reminder to stay more linear and not get rotational
Stay under my shoulders, don’t get big

Two Plate Machine Drill
Good way to mess with timing & learn how to make adjustments pitch to pitch
Machine doesn’t care where you’re standing, it’s same velo regardless

Double Pump Ride Drill
You will get fooled but how can you hit through it still?
Can you ride it out and still find a barrel?

Two Plate BP Drill
Challenge timing & comfortability w/ each pitch. Not every pitch or pitcher is same speed
Treat back plate as advantage count & front plate was 2k count
