Practice Plans
A good batting practice routine will help to make the most out of the time that you put in before the game. One of the best ways to improve your batting practice time is to develop a plan that gives every swing you take a purpose. These weekly Practice Plans do just that. Chart your hitting, Monday through Friday. The plans recommendations are are based on limiting the number of swings you take in a session—a hitter tires and loses focus after just 15-20 swings. Minimize the quantity, and maximize the quality of swings, by taking breaks between each progression. These Practice Plans for each machine have all been designed to make you a better hitter.
