This drill is the Net Drill is designed to help hitters keep a tight swing radius. It hit the ball on a line up the middle without hitting the net.
As you can see right there, Daniel kept his hands tight, hitting a line drive and left center field. acceptable outcomes are aligned drive with the middle or the other way. The whole goal is to keep your hands as tight as you can. You hit the ball hard up the middle, or it’s an opposite gap.
Net Drill – old school alert! This is a drill we love. It has been around for a long time, but has gotten lost over the last few years.
This is something simple that hitters can work on to tighten their swing and train themselves to lead with knob, keep their top elbow in the slot and stay inside the ball during how it works:
- Place the T close to the net
- Put the ball on the T, with the laces facing back as seen in the video. This gives us a target to hit (inside seam).
- Hit to inside seam of the ball without hitting the net. This gives us at targets, allowing us to keep our hands tight and hips through the inside of the ball.
- This is a great drill for young hitters to work on staying tight with their swing. We will have a follow up to pair this one soon.
