Fungo Golf
When you get to the ball field early and have some spare time, grab some buddies and play some fungo golf (fungos are best but any bat will do). Pick a spot on the field to hit to and tee off. The person to hit the target in the least amount of strokes wins the hole. Pick different targets all over the field and get in as many holes as possible before the rest of the team shows up. Believe it or not this game will help with bat control.

Aluminum Bat Care Tips
Limit the bat to your individual use only. Rotate the bat 1/4 turn each swing. Do not use in temperatures below 60° (16° C). Do not store the bat in extreme hot or cold temperatures, such as in a car trunk or garage. Do not clean metal spikes or cleats with your bat. Use with leather-covered balls only, not plastic or rubber cage balls. Do not hit waterlogged balls. If using a softball bat, do not use balls that exceed 400lbs. compression. Routinely check your plastic end cap and replace it if it cracks or becomes loose.

Batting Drill - Golf Balls
To develop hand-eye coordination and bat control, get a bag of the whiffled “perforated” golf balls and have a friend pitch them to you. Concentrate on hitting the golf ball on the center of the barrel. Once you get the hang of it, start hitting them to all parts of the field, 5 to the right, 5 up the middle, and 5 to the left.
