Setup a tee for hitting, you can also use a soft-toss. The lead hand, while executing swings, one should concentrate on keeping the hand above the plane of the ball. If the lead hand drops under then a pop up, strike out or fly out will usually occur. The hitter must turn the hips quickly for proper timing and power and the lead elbow should not extend fully before contact with the ball, since that will slow down the bat swing.

The lead hand swing allows a hitter to establish proper timing and power with the lead side of the body and giving the hitter proper contact with the ball.
