Pitching Machine required for this softball drill.

Coaches / Parents in outfield
Players across infield – 1 on deck – 1 at bat
10 hits – get your glove – go to 1st
Rotate across infield
On deck bats – 3rd goes to on deck
10 hits – 7 hits – 5 hits – turn up pitch speed
3 pitches – 1 pitch
Keep the pace fast – creates gametime pressure.
We use this last drill last practice before a game or tournament.
Guaranteed to help them hit.

From Dave…

Hitting Drill/ Advanced
 
To really teach “throwing your hands to the ball”, we like to use a piece of 3/8″-1/2″ rope approximately 32″ long, the length of bat.
We set up small wiffle balls on a tee and have the girls throw their hands/ rope to the ball.
If done correctly the rope snaps straight out and makes contact with the wiffle ball.
