Hitters Tip - Pitcher's Body Language
To be a good hitter it is always a good idea to watch the pitcher and try to pick up small changes in body language when different pitches are being thrown (curveball, fastball, changeup). In high school there usually are small signs that can tip off what pitch is coming. A common one is the angle that the pitcher holds the glove at.
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.
Two Ball Soft Toss
This drill will teach the hitter to concentrate and keep their weight back. The coach will toss two balls. The coach will then call out top or bottom after the balls are released. The hitter will hit the called ball into the fence or screen.
