Anyone have good plans for beginning to end tee progressions?
This a little off subject, but check out how she is set up to hit different pitches doing soft toss.we do a progression from high to low , inside to out to try and simulate diff pitch locations. one time her hitting coach gave her a good point to keep moving the tee around especially at camps so that the coaches see you not just working one location she reinforces that you should try and start by looking at the pitcher and tracking the ball into the tee, not just starting at the tee from start of swing. there is no right way or wrong way but we try and do different things each time with some staples especially during quarantine where fields are closed.
Do you do this in stations at practice?Variations I use:
Single tee:
- Inside-outside
- High-low
- Front-back
- Walk up (Happy Gilmore)
- Two ft together and then stride
Two tee drills:
Also..for each rep.. The hitter needs to start by looking forward as if looking at pitcher. Too many girls look down at ball the whole time. They should start looking forward and then track down to tee.
- Two balls InLine..hit both (pull/oppo)
- Inside- outside (ball on each tee..player begins start of "load" and coach calls out in or out and player hits only that ball) *can do similar drill with colored dots on balls..coach calls color to hit. (I like this last drill bcuz I can wait to call which ball to hit and it simulates the hitter having to wait on a changeup amd still keep hands back and loaded.)
