Too Fast


Question
14U Girl, pulls alot.  Uses compact swing and hits all meatballs and inside pitches well into left - too far left resulting in many foul balls.  Do you have any timing tips and/or drills to help with this.  1 1/2 ft in front of left hip is the impact location, stance is 1" closed.

Answer
Hello Dan

It's hard to determine the exact trouble site unseen so offering a couple of drills probably isn't help if there is a root mechanics flaw. With that said pulling inside and slower pitches foul isn't uncommon for batters that spend a lot of time hitting off pitching machines at the same speed (fast to very fast).

I would work on the double tees (inside ?out) and practice hitting off a pitching machine at different speeds. I've seen coaches try to have the batter close their stance more but that seems to never work, ironically opening the stance a little seems to help.

The coach and parent are in the best position to see mechanic flaws. It usually doesn't hurt to seek a hitting instructor in your area as an alternate option.

Find a hitting instructor in your area:

OR consider joining the Hitting Academy website if an instructor isn't available in your area. I think the cost is about $30 for unlimited access. The site is full of drills, tips and illustrations to correct specific faults. www.hittingacademy.com
