Balance Of Power! Hitting Tips For Youth Baseball Players by Chip Lemin

The most valuable advice that a youth baseball coach can give a young hitter is to think about hitting the ball up the middle. If you think about hitting up the middle, you can adjust to hit the ball wherever it is pitched. If you go to the plate hoping to pull the ball, you will struggle hitting an outside pitch. Your front side will have opened up too soon and you will not be able to drive a pitch on the outside part of the plate. You have to have balance in everything that you do in baseball, especially in hitting. Your body is going to move, but you must keep your head still. The only way to do that is to have good balance. Youth baseball bats are no different than adults bats, they need balance.

Concentration at the plate is critical, and positive thinking helps. You have to walk up to the plate saying to yourself, "I'm going to hit the ball. A hitter needs rhythm.

Baseball Strength development - Top Hand Hitting Drills

Good morning. Baseball Isolation batting drills are baseball hitting drills that work one specific part of the baseball player's body. The "Top-Hand" baseball batting drill builds top hand skills and accuracy.

Top-Hand Baseball Batting Drill

The top hand on the grip is the hand that takes the bat to the ball. It is important to develop strength and skill with this hand. To do this we do a one-handed isolation drill. The batter uses just the top hand. Gripping the bat at the top of the grip and using the bat like a tomahawk, the batter tries to get over the top of the ball and hit it into the ground. The batter has a coach or player soft toss the ball above the waist. The batter hits the ball from the top and drives it straight into the ground.
The Derek Jeter Target Baseball Trainer and the Derek Jeter Hurricane Baseball Hitting Trainer are two great trainers to use when performing this drill.
Suggested - 25 Swings - 3 Times a week.

Have a great day, Nick
