“2 Hand Toss to the Net” Hitting Drill ------------------------------------------ Difficulty Level: Easy Setup: For this hitting drill, you’ll need a couple softballs and a bat. Execution: Put the bat on the ground, and pick up a softball with two hands. Hold the softball as if it were a bat, and get into your batting stance. Go through your swing exactly as you would if you were holding a bat, releasing the ball where your contact point would be. After 5-10 reps, pick up your bat, and execute five swings, focusing on using that same feeling of throwing your hands forward through each swing. Coaching Tips: You should be doing this drill in front of either a net or a wall if possible so that you have somewhere to aim when you’re throwing. If dead center is 12 o’clock, you should be aiming to throw the ball anywhere in between 12 and 2. Variations: For an extremely difficult variation of this hitting drill, have a partner toss some balls in front of you and try to hit the ball with the one you’re throwing out of your hands. Attempts where you actually hit the ball will be few and far between, but either way the drill will be tremendous for your hand eye coordination. ------------------------------------------- For more great hitting drills, check out softball-spot!
