What This Drill Helps Fix
Keeps the hands moving with the body's turn instead of reaching or casting toward the ball too soon.
Why Fixing This Is Important
A connected swing stays short, so the hitter can wait longer, see the pitch better, and still get the barrel to a good fastball. Turning the hands with the body puts the body's rotation into the ball, which means harder contact and more line drives instead of weak, arm-only swings.
Coach Steve Cue
Adjust your body to the ball's height. Turn your hands with your chest.
