Stay at Home Hitting Drills- Week 1

While most of our country is safe at home during this time, we wanted to give some drills that can be done easily inside. We will continue posting these drills across our various social media platforms and on our website as well. If you have a drill that you're doing at home send it to tyler@baseballrebellion.com and we will highlight it in one of our "Stay at Home" series!

The Wall Stride Drill

Train timing without a moving ball
Eliminate 'swaying' back in the stride and lose momentum
Helps hitters load into their back hip and gain power

Whether cued to “stay back” or “load up”, hitters rock back into their back knee and towards the catcher constantly. This causes the eyes 👀and vision 👓of the hitter to move away from the ball and then back to it.https://t.co/2acV0jm7cT pic.twitter.com/rPdISGiE6u

Tilted Posture Drill

Improve hip hinge and side bend
Allows hitters to support the bat with their body
Helps eliminate hitters dropping their hands in the swing
Keeps the head still during the turn.

Work on improving your posture with nothing more than yourself and a wall. The head pivot drill is a great way to work on improving hip hinge and side bend while limiting excess head movement. ⚾👊https://t.co/026Mj0nI5R pic.twitter.com/iMoPo52t77

Turn to Catch

Improve timing and direction of rotation
Focus on the hitter turning their face to contact instead of using their peripheral vision.
Improves hand-eye coordination
Trains to adjust posture to different locations of the pitch.

We've added a small twist to the "Turn to Catch Drill". Grab a tennis ball, get creative and get better today. This drill allows you to work on posture and hand-eye coordination. 🎾👀https://t.co/RJDTRcQG6h pic.twitter.com/x0e47PxgQw

Wall Ball

Increased hand-eye coordination
Adjustability to different hops
Improved creativity whether it be fielding, transferring or throwing.

We love this for fielders because it requires no one else and only includes a wall and a tennis ball 🎾. The fielder has the power to create any hop for themselves by throwing the ball against the wall at different speeds or heights. 👍https://t.co/JPx7K01cDS pic.twitter.com/MyzgzZM3DZ

The Turn Behind

Increased barrel awareness
Better understanding of acceleration
Creates a deeper barrel path to allow the hitter to get "on plane" sooner

When the bat accelerates ⛽early, and in the way of the ball deep in the swing path, the hitter has the most room for error with timing ⌛ and can easily drive the ball to all fields with accuracy and power. https://t.co/HeCpg4Zz0N pic.twitter.com/8L3ZLgwru4
