Softball Hitting Drills – Two Tee Target Drill

Purpose: To hit the ball hard up the middle. To hit line drives. This drill can improve you softball hitting technique

Procedure: Two batting tees are required. Place the first tee slightly in front of home plate by 2 to 4 inches. Line it up with the middle of the plate. The second tee should be placed at least two feet in front of the first tee in a direct line at the same height. Place a ball on both tees. You will assume a ready position. Your partner will provide the verbal hitting commands — stride and pivot. Attempt to hit the ball off the first tee so that it makes contact with the ball on the second tee. The ball on the front tee serves as a target.

As your hitters become more successful, move the front tee further ahead. You may want to set up competitions to determine who can hit the most targets. For advanced hitters, leave the front tee in the original position and have the partner give soft tosses. The hitter will try to hit the feed and knock the ball off the front tee.
