Softball Hitting Drills – Single Tee Drill

Purpose: To improve the hitter's swing and sense of contact with the batting tee. This is one way of improving one's softball hitting technique.

Procedure: You will need a single batting tee, a plate, a bucket of softballs, and a batting cage or a soft toss hitting ares. Have the batter stand in the batter's box so that she stands in front of the plate, the batter should assume a proper batting stance and "measures up". To measure up, the batter reaches out with her bat and touches the opposite side of the plate. The bat hits the ball  of a batting tee that is positioned according to what hitting she is attempting to work on. The tee is positioned for an inside pitch by placing in front of the plate and on the inside corner. The tee is positioned for an outside pitch by placing it outside the plate, just off the back corner of the plate. To hit a pitch down the middle, the tee is positioned directly in front of the plate.
