Bottom Hand Tee

• Tee set up slightly in front of the middle of the plate
• Hitter sets up even with the plate, while other partner puts a ball on the tee
• Hitter gets ready, hold bat with the hand closest to the knob of the bat (bottom hand)
• Hitter places other hand (top hand) across chest on front shoulder to keep shoulder closed
• Swinging with one hand, the hitter tries to hit the ball on a line back up the middle
• If the bat is too heavy to control with one hand, the hitter may slide their hand up on the bat
• Partners switch after 5 swings
• A short 28” bat can also be used for this drill
