Here is a clip of my visit with DJ who lives in South Carolina. Right from the very start of our session, please note, that I am pitching to DJ using a full pitching delivery about 50 feet away. The visual pattern or the “visual demand” the hitter needs to counter and react to is so vitally important to his/her development.
Next, while pitching batting practice, I lead DJ into a series of drills that are designed to shape and prepare his brain to THINK more about the ball than he thinks about his swing. Getting a player to become totally fixated and consumed with what is the ball’s speed and space is essential for positive player development. Watch the video and consider getting one of our online hitting courses. Your son/daughter is worth the investment!
