Help your hitters develop good swing mechanics with this one-handed, Whiffle® ball drill from Skeeter Gentile. The goal is to focus on driving the elbow, staying through, and finishing with the arm extended out and away from the body.
Purpose: To work on improving hitting mechanics.
How it works: A coach stands about 10 feet away from a hitter, who holds a small radial bat in her lead hand. The batter swings at the ball, extending her arm away from her body on the follow-through. After a few reps, have the player switch hands and swing using the back hand while using good mechanics.
Required: A player, a radial bat, Whiffle balls, a coach and about 10 feet of space
