Today’s lesson.

Find an adjustable launch position.

Why it matters

The hitter needs a solid position at foot landing.

What you need

Use a mirror or coach observation; no ball needed for first reps.

How to do the drill

Gather, move forward, land under control with hands organized, pause and swing softly from there.

ONE CUE TO REMEMBER“Land athletic.”

Today's skill-game challenge

Show 5 land-and-pause moves that stay balanced.

One common mistake

Falling onto the front leg before swing starts.

Coach it positively: notice effort, a good decision and controlled movement—not just the final result.
