Tee Ball Success: The "Miss The Tee" Drill for Better Contact


Listen Later

Stop hitting the rubber and start hitting the ball! In this episode, Marty Schupak breaks down the "Miss The Tee" Drill, a fundamental exercise designed to help youth baseball and softball players improve their hand-eye coordination and swing path.

Many young hitters struggle by hitting the top of the tee or "chopping" at the ball. This drill provides a visual and physical blueprint to ensure players are making clean contact with the middle of the baseball. Whether you are a first-time coach or a parent in the backyard, this technique is a game-changer for player development.

Key Teaching Points:

  • Visual Focus: Training the eyes to stay on the ball, not the tee.

  • Level Swing Path: How to eliminate the "chopping" motion common in beginners.

  • Consistent Contact: Building muscle memory for a more accurate swing.

  • Confidence at the Plate: Helping kids see immediate results in their hitting.
