Instructions

• Tee set up in front of the middle of the plate
• Hitter sets up even with the plate, while partner places a ball on the tee
• Hitter hits the ball at the middle contact point for 3 swings, then moves the tee to the inside contact point

• Hitter hits the ball at the outside contact point for 3 swings, then the partners switch
• Focus should be on hitting the middle ball up the middle, the inside ball to the pull side, and the outside pitch to the opposite field
• Partners switch after 9 swings
• Set up a front toss screen on the field and have a coach throw front toss to the hitters.
• Players next in line to hit should be warming up in the on deck circle. All other players waiting their turn to hit should be in the dugout.
