One Knee Drill ()

One Knee Drill

Objective: This drill will help a hitter learn to use their hands better and will force them to quit using too much body in their swing. It will also help them work down through the baseball.

Setup: Bat, baseballs

Execution: The hitter will get down on their back knee with their front leg extended out front. The coach or whoever is tossing the ball sets up to the side and a little out front. They will toss the ball just like in side soft toss.

Coaching Keys: Work on taking the bat from the start down the same angle that their front leg makes when it is extended out front. This will help work down to the ball. Also talk about using their hands to almost flick the ball, not swing with their front shoulder yanking their body out to swing the bat.
