Waggle Drill 

2 waggles into a swing. Create some rhythm by staying loose & whippy with the hands & wrists 

How loose can you be and create easy pop?

Kick Through off Front Toss

Good drill to feel backside getting through the ball & working w/ length in the zone

Bottom Hand No Rotate w/ Back Foot Slide 

Good reminder to stay linear & not get into shoulders to muscle up 

#bottomhandwork

[CLHitting @CLHitting]

Bottom hand no rotate w/ scissor 

For me, it’s a good reminder to stay more linear and not get rotational 

Stay under my shoulders, don’t get big

Two Plate Machine Drill

Good way to mess with timing & learn how to make adjustments pitch to pitch 

Machine doesn’t care where you’re standing, it’s same velo regardless

Double Pump Ride Drill 

You will get fooled but how can you hit through it still? 

Can you ride it out and still find a barrel?

@TripleCrownBSBL Love it, great drill too

Two Plate BP Drill 

Challenge timing & comfortability w/ each pitch. Not every pitch or pitcher is same speed 

Treat back plate as advantage count & front plate was 2k count
