Softball Hitting Drills – Swing Hit Trainer

Purpose: To teach how to consistently groove the swing for softball hitting at different locations using a Swing Hit Trainer.

Procedure: One player grabs a bat and takes a hitting position and another player holds the extended Swing Hit Trainer and stands about eight to ten feet away from the hitter. The holder positions the trainer so that it is about two feet in front of the hitter's front hip. The hitter triggers, strides, and swings, hitting the trainer. After the third step out of the batter's box, the hitter should glance toward the coach. If the coach is holding up one arm, the runner runs through the base. The holder and hitter switch positions.
