BASEBALL FENCE DRILLS

Baseball fence drills. Use this drill to make sure you are coming through the zone with your hands on the inside. The quickest and shortest path to the ball. Let's get started!


Stand facing a chain link fence. Your body and the fence should be parallel. Take your bat and stick it straight out in front of your body towards the fence. There should only be a little more than the length of the bat space from the fence to your body.This is the start of the baseball fence drills.

Now take your normal stance-remember, you are parallel to the fence. Take your stride and than swing the bat. If you are looping the bat, you will strike the fence. If you are taking the right approach on an inside approach, you will miss the fence. Congratulations!This is the start of a short and compact swing. Practice this baseball fence drill daily or whenever you are out on the ball field to make sure you are on the right path.

In combination with your tee work, this will help promote the ideal swing. Just remember, the shortest path to the ball is a straight line. This is only accomplished by taking the inside approach just as in golf.

What this all means is simple. If you are taking the shortest, quickest avenue to the ball, your swing will be short and direct generating more bat speed. What this also means is you can wait longer, thus, not being fooled as much on off speed pitches. And if you are also applying the tee drills i showed you, than the off speed pitch will not be a problem.

You will be waiting longer, having better balance, and better bat speed, with the quickest route to the ball. Congratulations! Keep practicing and working hard on this baseball fence drill.

I look forward to hearing of your improvements and would love to hear how you are doing. Also, you can always come back to this page, just look for the "baseball fence drills" link on other drill pages and click on it.
