Hitting
Ball-Hit Front Toss
Instructions
• Screen set up 30 feet from the plate
• Hitter sets up even with the plate
• Coach throws overhand while seated on a chair or bucket, down the middle of the plate on a line at a slow to medium speed from behind the screen
• Hitter says “ball” when they first see the ball in the coach’s hand, and “hit” when they make contact
• Focus should be on good quality swings, with hitters finishing their swing and staying balanced
• Partners switch after 10 swings
