Keep them in the box

The kids see the pros do it and think they have to do it, too. Step out, look down the line, take a few swings, tie your shoe, pull up your pants, fix your helmet, then the back hand goes up as you dig in... every pitch! It must drive you crazy.

I don't let them do it. When they start to step out I tell them they have to stay in the box. It might take an inning or two but they eventually learn to stay in there. And the back hand up (ala Derek Jeter) doesn't mean a thing. The ball is live.
