Baseball Batting Practice: Small Ball Drill -
Baseball with Russ Sneed
Small Ball? C'mon... you coaches know what this is all about. Using an undersized, lightweight ball during batting practice is great for working on eye-hand coordination! Batters learn how to track the ball from the time it leaves the pitcher's hand until the swing (or not to swing, that is the question). The Small Ball Batting Drill can be done with the short toss, the side toss, or with a pitching machine. Doesn't hurt that using an undersized ball makes a real baseball look huge in comparison either!

about this website
The Total Pitching Program website is not only designed to insure people can find The Total Pitching Program on the internet, but is a coaching resource where you'll find video of clinics and drills from many of the world's top coaches...available for a period of 1 year after paying a nominal subscription fee. In addition to accessing the video library yourself, you'll be able to share your access with 3 other coaches PLUS you'll be able to share video with your teams (next paragraph).
In addition to a huge video library, you'll find easy to you team websites that are built to work. We've found that team websites with lots of frills tend to be cool for the first few visits, then they simply create work for the coach so our design insured that won't happen here.
