How To Stay Inside The Baseball with these 2 Simple Hitting Drills [How to Tuesday Ep.7]

 

In this video I talk about how to stop rolling over and how to fix a long swing. So if you roll over or have a long swing, you're going to want to watch this full video and learn these 2 simple hitting drills that will help you with your baseball hitting. Here is what I say in the video: What's up guys? Coach Madden, official trainer, YouGoProBaseball.com and today we're going to talk about how to keep your hands inside the ball and never roll over again! Now, what I see from a lot of hitters is, when they are hitting, their first movement they get away from their body with their hands. They get out and around this ball and they have a long swing. So if you have a long swing and you're getting out and around balls, or you're rolling over, or you have a slow swing, you're going to want to do these 2 drills because these 2 hitting drills are going to help you stay inside that ball and just have a short swing. Now, what I mean by stay inside the ball doesn't necessarily mean to get inside the ball and kind of push it but instead it just means to stay tight, stay connected, and stay in with the hands close to the body. So these 2 hitting drills again are going to be really beneficial to anyone who gets long, or gets out and around, or rolls over a lot of balls. The first hitting drill is what I call Shoulder Swings and all we're going to do in Shoulder Swings is set the ball on the tee. You can also do this with some front toss but it's really good to start, progress from the beginning, off a tee, and in Shoulder Swings all you're going to do is let that bat kind of fall down where it would as you start your swing right by your shoulder and you want to keep your elbow connected to your side. This is how we're going to stay connected, we're going to stay in, we're going to stay tight, we're going to stay inside the ball, and we're just going to rock back and forth just like this as we're getting ready, and then we're going to release the bat head, and throw our hands through that ball. So it's going to look a little something like this. The second hitting drill is going to be the Towel Hitting Drill. What we're going to do with the Towel Drill for hitting, everyone knows the Towel Drill for pitching, but this is the Towel Drill for hitting, we're going to put it right here inside this elbow so we stay connected. Now when we load we're not going to load up like we normally would in a swing, we're going to stay a nice short load, and then swing. But, this is going to tell us if we swing good or swing bad because if we swing bad and we get disconnected or away from our body or out and around or roll over, that towel is going to fall back here. But if we do it correctly, the towel is not going to pop out until out in front because at our contact point we actually still want to be connected. The towel on, if we do it correctly, is going to pop out out in front, like this. I hope you guys are liking these How To Tuesday videos. If you are, give me a thumbs up please.
