As far as a cue. I often use the cue, "Get to your spot!". I had all the players spread out, told them to stride to their launch position, using their own tempo. Their launch position is their own individual "spot". It belongs to them. I don't care how they got there or how fast or slow either. They are to get there each and every pitch. If they are rushed and hit the ball foul the opposite way, ask them, were you late getting to your spot? "Yes, coach" Then adjust. Theory being that they "should" be able to self adjust their starting time, based on the pitcher. Not saying this is full proof by any means, but it has helped the team be more consistent with their timing.
