Tee Drills

[SluggerCF91]

Does anyone know any good tee drills, specially ones that help me hit to center and right (oppo). I just normally set the tee up in position where I should make contact on a swing going to center, but end up pulling the ball anyway. Anything anyone gives me is apprieciated.

Set your tee up in a cage or on the field. Set it about 3-4" in front of your front foot for balls to pull. Set it about your front heel and hit balls to center. Set it about 5-6" back of your front foot and hit balls the other way. To practice and improve, you can make a game of it. All the balls you hit to the off field and up the middle, hit them on a line.....no ground balls or fly balls. All the balls you pull, hit them high and far. Give yourself two points every time you accomplish one of the above. Every time you hit a grounder or pop up on the pull field subtract two points. Every time you pop a ball up or hit a lazy fly to the opposite field or center field, subtract two points. A grounder to the opposite field or up the middle is zero points. Keep score and try to improve your score each time you practice. If you do this all the time, you will improve.

Hit 5 balls to each field and then start over and do the same thing until you get it right.

are the set up locations pre-stride or post-stride?

Thanks in advance

Add to Dmac drill...put the ball on the tee with the seams vertical and facing backwards.

Have him position himself where he can hit the inside seam with his feet lined up the middle. He can move up and back to find his optimum depth where ever he wants to be . Do not let him get closed.

He is hitting the outside seam " figuratively " now

nclefty.....after the stride. The results of the game will show you if you are taking better swings without a coach barking at you. You can help yourself which should be a goal of every hitter.
