Short Summary
- Coach Justin from Ultimate Baseball Training shares three effective hitting drills for kids.
- **No-Look Swings**: Players should focus on the ball’s original position for three seconds after swinging to develop the skill of tracking the ball.
- **Separation Drill**: This drill emphasizes generating bat speed and power by practicing the separation of the upper and lower body during the swing.
- The goal of the separation drill is to create a powerful swing by properly loading and feeling a stretch in the lats.
- **High Tee and Low Tee**: This drill involves setting up a tee at different heights to practice hitting pitches in various locations within the strike zone.
- The high and low tee drill helps players become more versatile and prepared for different pitch types.
- The drills are beneficial for players of all ages and skill levels, promoting better hitting techniques and overall performance.
- Consistent contact and hitting low line drives are emphasized over popping the ball up or hitting ground balls.
- Players are encouraged to maintain proper hand positioning and achieve a good power V position at contact.
- Using an orange cone can be helpful if a tee doesn’t go low enough for practice.
