A very overlooked drill that you can do on your own is simply swinging in front of a full size mirror. A lot of guys do not understand their own body movements. You have to be able to slow it down and truly own your swing. Become very attuned to the way your own swing works. Decide for yourself to make a conscious effort to sit strong into your back-hip and get low into your legs. Fight to have your back shoulder load toward the 3rd base dugout as your hips start to unload. Then feel the stretch as you release into your swing. Do all this while imagining a slow motion middle/middle fastball, and the whole time telling yourself, "be an athlete".
Hitting is most definitely an art form, especially at higher levels.
This is excellent advice!
