How to do the drill
- 1
Set Tee 1 in the middle of the plate. That's the ball you hit.
- 2
Set Tee 2, with a ball, just past your front toes after the stride, same height, off to your side.
- 3
Load, stride and hit the ball on Tee 1.
- 4
Keep the barrel going toward the pitcher and miss the ball on Tee 2.
- 5
Do 2 sets of 10. Count every clean swing (hit Tee 1, miss Tee 2) out of 20.
Coaching cues
- Swing through a long tunnel.
- Clear the front ball.
- Long arms after contact.
What good looks like
A line drive up the middle, and the Tee 2 ball still sitting there.
Why this drill
A staple of fastpitch tee work that shows right away whether the barrel stays in the zone.
