Learn the proper stance and Load. This gives the 2 biggest issues with stance (Feet to close together like Ichiro, Feet too far apart like Bagwell) Important point to note 2 H.O.F Players that do it the wrong way for kids.
|
|
|
This is a Perfect example of what we mean when we say to a pitcher that they need to get "on top of the ball" they need to take the longer stride, push off harder and use their lower body, not just the arm. This will increase power, balance and reduce stress on the arm.
|
|
|
Using more lower Body. Increase Velocity. Proper leg push off. Listen to how a PRO pitcher had a bad season and used videos on the internet to research a winning drill and it changed his career.
|
|
|
I want ALL players "Loading" before the ball is pitched. This is another reason to "RESET" everything between pitches.
|
|
|
Pay attention to "The Load" 90% of the players on our team have an issue waiting until the ball is pitched (thats called a hitch) causing them to be late on everything. I want them to "LOAD" before the pitch is released!
|
|
|
Have the kids do the example where they hold their finger in their palm and try to pull it out, then hold it in their fingers and try to pull it out. Which is harder? The fingers!

Bunting Mechanics- An At Home Drill
|
|
|
This will be used when the right side of the infield is playing deep. Its a bunt with more of a "slap" meant to go between 1st and 2nd base, making both players and the pitcher commit. This leaves nobody to cover 1st base. Bunting for a HIT!
