Foundation: Deceleration

What this drill helps fix

Deceleration is simply the body knowing when to slow down and stop rotating. A good hitter does not just keep spinning. The hips and body rotate, then control and slow down so the energy can transfer into the bat.

Why fixing this matters

When a hitter cannot slow the body down correctly, they may pull off the ball, roll over, or lose the barrel too early. Drills that teach a hitter to stay balanced, firm up the front side, and control rotation can help fix it and create harder, more consistent contact.

Duration: 5m
