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!

Baseball with Wade Hedges

One player is the Tosser and controls the drill. The other is the Hitter. It's the Tosser's job to help the Hitter get the most out of this drill by varying the direction of the toss. Great for Batting Practice!

Its time for BP
. Batting Practice that is! The key to an effective baseball batting practice is to make every practice as game like as possible. Use this batting cage drill to learn how. Using live pitchers in the batting cages instead of machines and limiting the number of swings per rotation, simulate game conditions to increase a players confidence and comfort level when at bat. And, as always, the biggest part of practice is repetition, repetition, repetition!
