45 Degrees Closed Drill

What this drill helps fix

Helps you keep your chest facing the plate longer as you step, instead of turning toward the pitcher too soon.

Coach Steve cue

Keep your chest toward the plate as you step, then turn.

Why fixing this matters

Keeping your chest from turning too early and staying bent slightly at your hips helps you reach the ball without pulling away.
