Hitting Basics: Soft-Toss

Soft-toss is one of the most simple and effective drills to date.  Hitters that soft-toss regularly should have a good fundamental error-free swing if executed properly.  Players should focus on getting good quality reps in as you develop muscle memory.  If a player is getting tired or worn out he should stop taking reps immediately as it will cause problems such as dropping the back shoulder.  Remember while soft-tossing keep shoulders closed, head down, hands and elbows up, bat parralel to the ground, squash the bug.
