Stay at Home Hitting Drills- Week 2
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 eric@baseballrebellion.com and we will highlight it in one of our "Stay at Home" series!
Top-Hand Turns
- Provide more top hand dominance for bottom hand dominant hitters
- Improve bat path and early connection
- A better understanding of how and when to turn the barrel
Right-handed throwers who hit left-handed are valuable because of their ability to play multiple positions and also hit left-handed. But, being a bottom-hand dominant hitter can cause bat path issues. If this sounds like you, give this drill a try! 👍⚾https://t.co/A55y2mWXri pic.twitter.com/OrPNTu4n1q

Wedge Drill
- Improved loading pattern to allow for optimal rotation
- A better understanding of how to create the proper posture
- Avoids loading the quad in the load which creates a poor forward move
Loading correctly plays a major factor in how well a hitter is able to rotate. Stay out of swaying back 🔙 and loading your quad by using the wedge drill. The better you load, the better you swing. 👍https://t.co/O3428C7DBO pic.twitter.com/RzkK4bKNBA

Understanding Proper Extension
- Avoids having a “handsy” swing
- Knob dominate swings create poor adjustability and bat path
- Understanding of how to create depth and adjustability with the barrel
- Increased awareness of barrel path and acceleration
Broomstick Half-Turns
- Allows for the creation of proper bat path
- Increased understanding of how the bat is moving
- Allows hitters to create the correct posture to keep the bat supported.
Pick up a broomstick and learn to turn the bat properly. This drill will help you accelerate ⛽the barrel instead of your hands creating not only more bat speed, but proper bat speed. Grab a broom and give it a try! 👍https://t.co/oXcrysjinE pic.twitter.com/OcKSBsMP8K

Rackbat Posture Turns
- Creation of correct posture to different pitch locations
- Forces hitters to use their body to get to their target instead of their hands
- Provides more adjustability within the rotation
One of the biggest mistakes hitter’s make is not getting in the correct posture before they start their swing. Throw some tape on the wall and learn how to move! ⚾👊https://t.co/rd7poitW8u pic.twitter.com/8MeNCDvUXX
