Color Call
Essentially the same as the "Tracking" drill in the last post, except the coach adds 3 baseballs with four dots, one dot on each belly of the ball. One ball is dotted with four red dots, one ball dotted blue, and one black. Pitcher holds all 3 and throws one. Player "calls" color.
This drill teaches concentration and seeing 'spin".

Tracking
Tracking
Tape a strike zone on the wall and then have hitters visually "track" a pitched ball into the strike zone and call the pitch as it passes each hitter.

Power Swing Fan
Power Swing Fan
Use power swing fans 50-100 times daily. Excellent for developing bat speed and strength.
NOTE: don't use just prior to hitting, it seems to hinder timing. Also may lead to "sweeping" the bat so use carefully and with correct form.
