Coach Labeots, I have never seen any value in the wall/fence drill. In fact, I have never seen a good hitter swing the bat the way the fence drill is used. I feel there are too many drills used with kids and not enough hitting being done. Help them to learn how to rotate as they swing. Help them to learn how to slot their elbow. Encourage them to keep their head steady. Encourage them to try and stay balanced from the start of the swing until the finish of the swing. encourage them to hit the ball hard.Throw them lots of BP. If a 12 year old can start doing the above things, he has a good chance of playing high school baseball.

IMO, the fence drill will teach the hitter how to have his bat head lagging far behind.
