When I was playing pro baseball, I saw Ichiro Suzuki in the cage doing something I'd never seen before.
His coach was bouncing the baseball to him instead of throwing it.
So I asked:
"What's that drill for?"
He said:
"To stay back."
At the time, I was getting jumpy.
Lunging forward.
Trying to get to the baseball too soon.
So I tried it.
And immediately realized something:
You can't cheat the bounce.
If you drift forward early, you'll either miss it or hit it poorly.
The drill forces you to stay balanced, let the ball travel, and hit from a stronger position.
I've used it ever since.
Sometimes the best drills aren't complicated.
They're simple drills that expose a flaw and force you to clean it up.
Try it tonight.
If you're lunging forward, let me know what happens.
Thank you for reading,
