With the swing being one of the most techniques in baseball, drills are necessary in ensuring their proper development. This drill does precisely that, and can greatly improve the accuracy and power of your swing. A bat and a helmet may be used for single player drills, but in a group situation where there may not be enough bats available, you can opt to do without one although helmets are still necessary. Keep in mind that you will need a fair amount if space for this drill if you are performing it as a group. When done with younger players, the use of a bat may also be discarded, including it only for batting station drills.

The drill begins with each player going into the proper stance. With the designated pitcher winding up and throwing an imaginary ball, the coach yells out whether the pitch is inside or outside. The batters then go through the coil, stride, and swing movements.

Throughout this drill, the coach should makes sure that the players shoulders swivel along a level line of motion and that the bat is led by the player’s hands. The drill can be repeated as many times as the coach feels is necessary.
