Softball Batting Drills – Hit-by-Pitch Drill

Purpose: This drill for softball hitting is to develop the proper technique to get hit by a pitch.

Procedure: Take your stance at the plate or in front of a cage or net. A coach or player throws balls at you and to the inside. Turn in toward the catcher, allowing the ball to hit you in the back. This will protect the front of your body and ease the impact of the ball.
