Are you new or experienced in baseball? Either way, there are still many lessons you have to follow to improve your skill even more. If you are aiming of becoming a professional baseball hitter, you must take in order to hit better. Well, hitting a ball is not a simple thing even in just any sport after all. There must be proper techniques of doing it. So, let’s take a look at the ones for newbie and real baseball players here.

Simple Baseball Hitting Drills

Let me warn you first here. Even if for newbie are quite easy and simple, don’t ever try to underestimate them. Even professional baseball players always start from these simple baseball hitting drills. They help to build your basic skills after all. So, first, you can try to practice hitting off a tee. It is a drill for all ages, indeed. All you need to do is to hit off the tee as much as you can. Try to hit 25 balls in each session at least.

Second, you can try to do soft toss. Practice this in pair so you can have someone to underhand toss the balls to you, at different locations if possible. You can just hit the balls to the protective netting. Third, modified broomstick hitting drill is quite fun to do as well. This drill might be simple, but it does have an important point here. Yes, the point of this hitting lesson in baseball is for hand eye coordination.

All you need to do is to have your friend using wooden broomstick in the same length as the baseball bat to pitch some plastic golf balls to you. Fourth, you can also do a live batting practice. You will have to divide up the pitches throw at you. Then, hit them to different locations. Simply put, you can hit some to the opposite field, some up the middle, and some to your pull side.

Greater Baseball Hitting Lessons

The baseball hitting lessons here are called greater because they start to get complicated in the drills. That is why they would only be understood better by those who have become real baseball players. The kind of hitting drill in baseball here is done with the purpose of practicing the hitter’s full concentration to pick up the ball at release point since it enters trajectory after release. So, you need to practice with a pitcher here.

Have him stand three feet in front of a net while you are facing him on the other side of the net. Then, the drill is started with the pitcher winding up and pitching the ball. Of course, the ball will hit the net this way. However, what you need to do as a hitter is to concentrate on the release only. Imagine that there is a circle around the release zone. Then, expect the ball to come out of the zone. This is how the drill is done.
