What types of drills could lefty hitters work on when facinf lefty pitchers?
by Jack
Everything right
Jack asked: My son is 14 years old and currently playing High School Baseball. Since the process in the above paragraph happens in split seconds, it is helpful to have as few mechanical movements as possible. The off season is a great time to develop the skill of consistently seeing the baseball well, with focus. When your son grounds out to second base, are they hard hit balls, or are they roll over or jammed ground balls? Besides the ground ball outs, how does he hit over all? Mostly line drives, fly balls, pop ups? I would highly recommend two books which will help him out in all aspects of the game. They are, The Mental Game of Baseball, and The Mental Keys to Hitting. Both books are written by H.A. Dorfman. Mr. Dorfman was a Sports Psychologist who worked with numerous MLB clubs in his life. He passed away a couple of years ago; but his books are still available. I consider him nothing short of genius when it comes to the Mental Game of Baseball. These books are available through the store on my site, or you can go directly to Amazon Books. They are the same price either way and all go through Amazon. If I were to offer up a suggestion for any player's of-season program, these books would be at the top of the list. I recommend them to all our players at their end of the season exit interview. The tribute from Roy Halladay and others speaks volumes. More often than not I find that hitting problems stem more from a lack of a plan for that at bat, than the mechanics within the swing. Good luck as you both move forward. If you can send some additional information, or have more questions, please stay in touch. I would be interested to hear more about where he is at. Yours in baseball, Rick |
