The focus of this drill is hitting the ball out in front.

• Put your hitter in the batters box.
• Using the bat, have them draw a line in the dirt about 6 – 8 inches in front of home plate.
• The coach stands about 8 feet in front of the hitter and slowly tosses tennis or white wiffle balls over home plate so the hitter can practice hitting the ball when it gets over the line.
