High Pitch Hitting Drill
This drill works on hitting pitches in the top of the strike zone. To use this drill, set-up a batting tee so that the ball is at the top of the strike zone (hint: Taller players may need to place the tee on a small block of wood in order to raise it 5"-6"). When doing this drill, do not flex your front knee, do not take a normal stride, and do not take a normal swing.
The keys to hitting a high pitch are as follows:
Swing slightly down through the ball ("slap the hands down")
Lead with the knob of the bat at the ball and pull the
hands down and across, forcing the shortest route to the pitch
Hit the ball hard and on a line
You do not want to hit underneath the ball, missing the ball completely and hitting the tee. If this happens, it is a sure sign that you need to emphasize the above steps.
