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".
Swing away,

The objective of this site is to post hitting drills, so as to enable the hitter to concentrate solely on one aspect (or part) of the total skill, until that part becomes ingrained into the reaction (or subconscious) of the hitter. Once the indiviual parts of the skill are ingrained, the player can then concentrate on the opposing pitcher and ball placement. Finally, Thanks goes to Coach Wasem for all the drills.
It's said that, in order for a motor skill to become learned (or subconscious) an athlete must perform the skill 10,000 times.
