BONUS! Bat Path Killer Video Reviews

Here's a summary breakdown of the three bat path killers and their corresponding drills:

1. Dropping Back Shoulder

The Problem: Players drop their back shoulder and raise their front shoulder when attempting to achieve high launch angles.

The Drill: PVC Pipe (Thunder Stick) Shoulder Swings • Use chest-high PVC pipe • Cross arms and hold stick to shoulders • Practice proper rotation while maintaining shoulder alignment • Work through different angles (90°, 45°, 0°)

2. Casting

The Problem: Players extend their arms away from body during swing, creating a longer, less controlled swing path.

The Drill: 90° Bucket No Roll Swings Drill • Set tee even with knees • Keep barrel behind ball • Maintain rigid bottom arm • Use body rotation instead of hands to drive swing

3. Lowering Hands

The Problem: Players lower their hands before swinging, forcing an upward swing or unnatural wrist roll.

The Drill: Three Progressive Hand-Pivot Drills

1. Basic Hand Pivot (kneeling) • Practice proper elbow slot • Rotate bat around hands
2. Hand Pivot Swing • One-handed grip focus • Small, controlled movements
3. Two-Handed Integration • Short bat practice • Focus on top hand guidance • Combine rotation with pivot
