Short Summary
- Coach Manon from YouGoProBaseball.com shares seven baseball hitting drills designed specifically for youth players.
- The drills are new and different from a previous video, aiming to provide more valuable content for coaches and young athletes.
- The first drill is the “stance drill,” which focuses on establishing a proper batting stance without swinging.
- In the stance drill, players are instructed to stand slightly wider than shoulder-width apart, with knees slightly knocked in and weight on the balls of their feet.
- The second drill is the “stride pause stride swing” drill, where players practice striding out, pausing in a good launch position, and then swinging to hit a ball off a tee.
- The third drill is the “PVC drill,” which involves using a PVC pipe to mimic the bat’s position, reinforcing fundamentals.
- The drills aim to improve hitting skills by focusing on proper stance, body mechanics, and swing technique.
- Additional drills include using weighted balls and devices to maintain proper swing mechanics and improve contact skills.
- The coach emphasizes the importance of practicing a strong finish after contact and recognizing when players are casting their hands in their swing.
- Viewers are encouraged to share their favorite youth baseball hitting drills in the comments and to subscribe for future videos.
