Improve Hitting Knowledge
Foundations: Quality at Bats
What this drill helps fix
Helps you judge an at-bat by your choices and effort, not just whether you got a hit.
Coach Steve cue
Know your plan, compete, then get ready for the next pitch.
Why fixing this matters
You can hit a ball hard and still make an out. Good pitch choices and doing your job give you something useful to build on.
