Free Fastpitch Softball Drills – Reverse Tracking

Purpose: To practice tracking the ball and keeping the hands inside the barrel, which is very important when it comes to hitting a softball.

Procedure: The ball is flipped from behind the hitter on an inside-out plane. The hitter can slightly turn her head to track the toss. As the ball comes forward the hitter must hold her power angle until contact. The hitter must wait on the ball and then drive it with authority into the center of the net. The hitter needs to fully extend before rolling her wrists.
