Strike Zone

To help a player become familiar with their strike zone. Tape the player's strike zone on his/her locker or on his/her closet door at home, then everytime they open the door he/she can visualize their strike zone.

You can also add paper cutouts of baseballs. You can place "target balls" in the players "sweet spot" as well as in their weak spot.

Weighted Sleeves

Weighted Sleeves

The old stand by drill is putting a weighted sleeve on the bat. Obviously, this is an overload drill which strengthens the wrists and forearms. Players should swing the overloaded bat 100 times per day to see results (not only, right before they're up to bat).
