Hitting Drill: Single Arm with Little Bat

In an athletic and strong position, we train ONE ARM MECHANICS using a little bat and tennis balls.

On the back hand, we focus on keeping our weight behind the ball, connecting so the arm moves with the body, making contact with the hand and forearm behind the bat, and extending through the zone toward where the pitch came from.

For the front hand, we focus on moving linearly, leading with the elbow and then the forearm, keeping the bat behind the wrist, and finishing LONG through extension.

In this Power Line Drill Video, 2017 Stavi Augur - committed to go to Coastal Carolina U. - demonstrates here and Coach Sara Hayes is instructing.
