1 Hand, Back Hand Drill (improve bat path, BATTING AVERAGE, & more hard hits) | Baseball Tee Drills
Of all the baseball tee drills for bat path, this is a very effective one. It will help your players get their bat on plane with the pitch, so they can improve batting average and have better quality contact more often.
Do you remember when everyone used to say hitters should "chop down" on the baseball? That became "common knowledge" because it was how many of the best baseball players described how it felt when they were hitting well.
Then, high-quality, slow-motion video came into the picture. That's when we all began to realize that what you FEEL isn't always what is actually happening.
We now know that what's actually happening is this: A swing that's on plane with the trajectory of the baseball actually has the best odds of making contact (aka, better BA) and making SQUARE contact (powerful, long-ball, hard hits).
Or as Ted Williams said, a good swing is slightly uphill. That's what we're working on in today's hitting drill.
IMPORTANT - While this is a fantastic baseball tee drill for batting average and improving bat path, I do have a word of warning. If you find you aren't strong enough to do this drill with proper form, then you should either choke up, use a lighter bat, or don't do it at all.
