I was just curious to see if anybody has any drills for trying to stay back. I used to really "squish the bug" then when I tried to utilize my hips more I started lunging at the pitch. I feel like on fastballs I can square them up, but it seems like I am always way out front on any type of off speed pitch. I'm developing a trigger mechanism of a little knee jab to try and stay back. Thoughts? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Backstop32,

We have some very good drills on our team website:
www.gators-baseball.com. Use the (Hitting Drills) navigation link at the top of the page. They are in adobe format, so you should be able to print them out. Print the Hitting_Drills_0001.pdf these drills will cover heel/toe start and movement,and Hitting_Drills_0003.pdf there are four very good drills to help hitters stay back in this pdf.

Hope this helps.
