During a session, we perform a ton of drill work that focuses on teaching proper movements and not positions. Hitting, pitching, and throwing are extremely complex movement patterns for young players to perform efficiently with explosiveness and athleticism. When you teach players positions, they tend to move like robots and lose their athleticism. Therefore, I’ve learned and developed dozens of drills that focus on movement segments in the swing and pitching delivery. This helps players understand how each movement segment works.

I typically get players to ‘feel’ a certain drill(s) and then try to blend the drill(s) into the regular swing, pitch, or throw. I use a concept called blending where our goal is to get the drill to carry over to our game time swing or pitching delivery. The typical pattern for the blending concept is to alternate drill, pitch, drill, pitch, drill, pitch until they start feel a carry over. An example of blending for hitting would be a drill on tee, regular swing on tee, front toss swing, five live swings then back to tee. We always want to go back to the drill to remind our body of the movement we’re working on. This takes several rounds to carry over and sometimes several practices. We believe this is the quickest way to get movements to carry over to game time, and that’s what practice is all about – preparing for the game. Blending, in addition to the video analysis, helps speed up the learning process like nothing I’ve ever seen before.
