This is a great drill for players of all ages to learn/reinforce keeping your hands in a good load position, not dropping your shoulders and not letting the barrel get below the ball. The idea is if you can get on top of a ball chest level you will have no problem staying through (Or level) on a pitch in the strike zone. Staying level helps you hit the ball harder and more consistently while also help fighting off tough pitches. We use this drill with all of our Badgers and #canesbaseball players as well as the college and professional players who come in to train.
Notice when Austin swings he keeps his head down, hips and shoulders parallel and finishes his swing by turning his back foot and back hip to the pitcher. Great drill for players of any skill level. Thanks for the awesome demo @awynns12
