Foundation: Deceleration
5m
What This Drill Helps Fix
Deceleration is simply the body knowing when to slow down and stop rotating. A good hitter does not just keep spinning. The hips and body rotate, then control and slow down so the energy can transfer into the bat.
Why Fixing This Is Important
When a hitter cannot slow the body down correctly, they may pull off the ball, roll over, or lose the barrel too early. Drills that teach a hitter to stay balanced, firm up the front side, and control rotation can help fix it and create harder, more consistent contact.
