Oklahoma Bulldogs Baseball: Hitting Tips

Hitting Drills

Chair Drill


This is an excellent drill for the hitter who tends to uppercut. First, place a batting tee on the inside half of the plate. Next, place a folding chair behind the tee with the seat closest to the tee (hint: The tee should be slightly lower than the back of the chair). To execute this drill properly, you must swing with a slightly downward angle. If you do not physically swing slightly down through the ball, you will hit the back of the chair before you ever reach the ball, indicating that you are uppercutting.
