Dylan Crews 2 Strike approach. The best hitters adjust pitch to pitch & to the game situation. First 2 strikes are for Dylan Crews to look to do damage & drive the baseball for extra bases. The 3rd is for the LSU Tigers. Spread out. Foot down early. Be on time. Refuse to K!!!

Texas Rangers MLB Hitting Coach, Tim Hyers, discusses the High Tee Drill and how it helps hitters create a direct swing path needed to consistently handle velocity, with high spin, at the top of the zone. Great hitters know there is big risk involved in creating unnecessary length and depth on the backside of the swing. This is especially true when facing pitchers who throw with superior velocity at top of the zone. Take a listen.
