Rhythm Tee

• Tee set up slightly in front of the middle of the plate
• Hitter sets up two steps back from the plate (toward the catcher position)
• Hitter crosses their back foot in front of their front foot, staying square to the plate
• Hitter then steps with the front foot into the normal area of their batting stance
• As front foot moves forward towards the pitcher, the weight should be shifted onto the back foot as the load, and the front foot should stride into the normal stride position
• Hitter then tries to hit the ball back up the middle, using the momentum from the steps
• If hitter is having a difficult time walking into their stance, they can start in front of the tee and step back onto their back leg as well (footwork as stated above but opposite)
• Partners switch after 5 swings
