Hit by Pitch Drill AGES 7+

What you need:
  1. Helmet
  2. Tennis ball/Racquetball
Drill Instruction:
  1. Have your batter step up to the plate and take his/her normal stance.
  2. Throw the ball inside-at the batter.
  3. Your batter should turn in towards the catcher tucking his/her chin and front elbow, allowing the ball to hit them in the back to absorb impact.
This is a great drill for younger inexperienced players that havent been hit by many if any, pitches.  It is also a very big aspect of the game knowing how to safely protect yourself from pitches.
