Dan Heefner, Dallas Baptist Univ: Generate Power through the Core First by putting your hitter in a Physical Constraint.
Nino Giarratano, University of San Francisco: Get your hitters started and moving forward with rhythm. This drill is 1 of 8 that Coach G uses virtually everyday with his hitters.

JR, ABCA Staff: Kids love to break stuff and this Intent driven cage competition features a lot of "breaking" stuff.
Brian Meyer, Butler University: Hitting drill that allows the hitter to find and feel his weight shift/negative move. Helps guys who are getting too deep into their backside.
JR, ABCA Staff: Old school baseball at its finest. There is a reason this drill has been around for a long time.
Allen Cox, Okotoks Dawgs. Great drill for guys who are getting stuck on their backside.
JR, ABCA Staff: Hitters can learn a lot from ball flight and this video demonstrates a safe field layout to get two players hitting at the same time.
