Hi guys,

I've been working real hard on tee drills and soft toss and I'm hitting great. What I've noticed is that in soft toss and tee I have a nice, smooth step with my weight back and a soft landing, but when I take live BP I find this hard to do. Will this just come with more repitions, or is there other drills i must do?

I'm no hitting instructor but this is very common. It's mental. You you need to focus on your swing in BP, don't think about results. Remember, it's NOT how hard you hit the ball, it's HOW you hit the ball that counts. How do you learn this? It's just reps....muscle memory.
