Baseball fungo drills. I know what you are thinking. What
will fungo hitting do for me? It's simple. The fungo is a good tool for
learning how to stay inside the ball. And i will explain. Let's get started.
What is a fungo? Just to review, a fungo is a small diameter bat that is used
for infield and outfield practice. Have you ever watched the coach as he hits
ground balls to the infielders, and how he hits fly balls to the outfielders?
Or how he is able to hit pop-ups to the catcher? He just didn't learn that over
night. Try it sometime, it's not easy!
With a fungo in your hand, toss up a ball and try to hit an easy line drive
with it. That's right, i will repeat. With a fungo, toss a ball up in the air,
and than hit an easy line drive. If you have any flaws in your swing you will
not be able to do these baseball fungo drills.
If your swing is even a little off, trying to keep the hands inside your
approach and hit a line drive can be difficult.Remember, in this baseball fungo
drill,the trick is to be fluid. Remember the other drills I have shown you and
incorporate this into your arsenal of drills as well. You'll be surprised when
you first try the fungo drill, it's not as easy as you think.
Just a reminder about not only the fungo drill, but the other drills on this
site. They are meant to help you establish a good foundation with which to
build upon. They are a collection of drills that i have used throughout my
career. And they are drills that were the most beneficial for my development.
They have been hand picked out of many years and sweat and tears of hard work.
And i wish to pass them onto you.
