You’ve been hitting baseballs since you were 3, so let’s stop working on eye-hand coordination. You’ve been working on “letting the ball get deep” for the past five years, and it still hasn’t worked yet. You’ve been working on “keeping your head down” so much that you can’t lift it up to run to first base.
OK, I have what you need to find success at the plate. There are three skill sets that you must get assessed while working on drills this fall that, if done properly and diligently, will lead to an amazing spring season.
Timing
Let’s start with timing, which is simply how and when you get loaded to track a pitch and complete your swing.
Elite hitters can get loaded, on time, 90 percent of the time. How about you? Click here to see my short video on timing.
Tempo
Tempo simply is the speed of your body when you get loaded. What happens if you drive a car too fast in the neighborhood and a child rides a bike in front of you? You won’t be able to make the adjustment.

Tracking Pitches
Tracking pitches is your ability to determine where a pitch will end up. Breaking balls obviously change planes, so putting the barrel off the bat on the ball often means you extend it forward more than you want. On the other hand, anyone with good eyesight can “see the ball out of the pitchers hand.”
