Half Swing Drill
What this drill helps fix
Helps hitters who lack extension or a clean swing plane learn to get through the ball and control the barrel through full extension.
Coach Steve cue
Get through the ball—stop at full extension with the barrel back toward the pitcher.
Why fixing this matters
Getting through the ball with a controlled barrel path helps the hitter stay on plane longer and direct the ball correctly based on pitch location.
