Power Bat Drill
In this drill, batters work on hitting with power through the zone. Set a deflated soccer or basketball on a tee or have someone toss it to you. Using proper technique, swing to make impact with the heavier ball; your bat will decelerate upon initial impact. Continue to work on the power through the zone and not on hitting the ball as far as you can. Power is all about bat speed at impact, not the size or strength of the hitter. This drill will increase the bat speed at impact if it is used on a regular basis.
