Change-Up Tee

• Tee set up in front of the middle of the plate, further away from the plate than a normal contact point
• Hitter sets up even with the plate, while partner places a ball on the tee
• Hitter keeps their hands back and the ball should be hit back through the middle of the field
• Objective is to learn how to sink into the front side while keeping the hands back to hit a changeup
• Focus is on sinking into the front leg after the stride foot lands while staying back with the hands
• Great for hitters that cannot stay back or commit early to over-stride
• Partners switch after 10 swings
