As we continue to break the swing down and build off of previous tips of the week, let's discuss the second part of the swing: The Slot.
After a hitter has separated, it is time to make the move towards the baseball. Chris Burke from eCoachBaseball has broken this down in four easy parts.
Today, we are discussing The Slot, which he explains as the knob of the bat moving towards the pitcher.
Just like any other tip with eCoachBaseball, there is a drill to go with it. Chris breaks down a great drill to work on this move in this week's tip of the week with Prep Baseball Report. Give it a try!
