This article from The Hitting Vault focuses on baseball hitting drills designed to generate power, emphasizing that power isn’t just about hitting the ball out of the park. It’s about efficient hip rotation, strong turns, and effective hip and shoulder separation, using examples like Mookie Betts and José Altuve to illustrate that size isn’t everything.
Key Baseball Hitting Drills for Power
-
The Flamingo Drill: Enhances balance, bat control, and lower half rotation by forcing weight off the back foot and creating momentum.
-
Full Turns: Activates the core and lower half for more aggressive swings, with variations to improve timing and feel.
-
Lower Body Coil: Focuses on loading the lower half correctly to achieve a proper launch position, crucial for power generation.
-
K Posture Drill: Integrates full turns, timing, and lower body coils to build muscle memory for an ideal launch position, using a slant board to maximize load into the back leg.
These drills, demonstrated by Coach Matt Lisle, aim to help players improve their performance at the plate by focusing on the mechanics that create power.
