✔️ This my favorite Water Tank drill for these reasons. 1️⃣ Stabilizes the pelvis & core 2️⃣ Forces the lower half to hold tension with the ground 3️⃣ Buids deceleration patterns ✔️ If you own or have access to a water tank, do these as a warm-up to get your body primed and ready to swing the bat. 5x8 Sets & Reps

1️⃣ The Frisbee Throw Drill • The drill mimics the motion of throwing a frisbee with the lead arm. • Focus is placed on isolating and freeing the lead arm from the torso. • It trains hitters to feel the proper sequence of their swing while maintaining frontside direction. 2️⃣ Key Benefits • Promotes barrel control and a straighter swing path. • Helps hitters stay through the ball longer instead of cutting their swing off early. • Reinforces proper swing mechanics and minimizes early rotation. 3️⃣ Common Problem Hitters often get their lead arm stuck to their torso during the swing. This limits proper disassociation and causes them to pull off the ball, leading to an “around the ball” swing path instead of staying through the middle. 4️⃣ Importance of Disassociation Disassociating the lead arm from the trunk allows for better energy transfer and direction. This enables the barrel to work efficiently, delivering a clean and direct swing path through the middle of the field. 🔑 Key Benefits: • Promotes barrel control and a straighter swing path. • Helps hitters stay through the ball longer instead of cutting their swing off early. • Reinforces proper swing mechanics and minimizes early rotation. https://youtube.com/shorts/UTt5bhagp7Q?si=pcgyoETH97nDptbR

1️⃣ Strong at Contact: Heavy balls require more force to hit effectively, which means hitters need to engage their core and glutes fully to make solid contact. The extra resistance helps build strength in the muscles used at the point of contact, reinforcing their ability to maintain power and stability during a real swing. 2️⃣ Connection: Since heavy balls don’t travel as far as regular baseballs, they force hitters to maintain efficient mechanics and stay “connected” in their swing. If a hitter disconnects or flails, they won’t drive the heavy ball effectively. This feedback encourages hitters to deliver force from the correct parts of their body to create a unified and efficient swing. 3️⃣ Body Awareness and Stability: Hitting a heavy ball can reveal if a hitter loses balance or stability in their swing. It helps them recognize when they’re over-rotating or overextending, which can lead to inconsistencies. By maintaining a grounded and stable base through the drill, hitters develop better control over their movement patterns. 4️⃣ Improved Bat Path: Heavy balls help hitters stay through the zone longer, improving bat path. They reinforce the habit of driving through the ball, rather than pulling off or chopping down, promoting a smooth, efficient bat path. ✔️ Heavy Balls are a great investment if you have limited space and/or hitting by yourself at home.

1️⃣ Purpose of the Drill • The white line drill helps hitters create space and maintain direction through the middle of the field. It emphasizes proper body positioning to maximize barrel direction and contact efficiency. 2️⃣ Setup • Place the tee on the inner third of the plate to black/edge of the plate. • Position yourself close to the white line. 3️⃣ Creating Space • As you stride out, focus on creating enough space for your hands, arms, and barrel to work. Butt back & chest down. • Proper space allows you to attack the inside part of the ball effectively, promoting true ball flight and staying up the middle. 4️⃣ Key Body Positions • Get your butt back: Maintain a slight hip hinge to preserve space. • Chest down: Keep your torso engaged and balanced over your center of mass. 5️⃣ Objective • The goal is to maintain space and work the inside half of the ball, avoiding a “push” or “pull” swing that sacrifices direction and barrel accuracy. • Aim for true ball flight to through the big part of the field. 🚫 Common Mistake • Early hip extension (hips pushing forward too soon) can cause your hands to drift out. • This often results in a “cast-out” barrel path, leading to weak contact, such as ground balls to the pull side. • Frontside flying off too early. • Rollovers & top-spin. • Flares to the opposite field. https://youtube.com/shorts/f6MZyg-ESMs?feature=shared
