Hitting: Machine Work Drills with Joe Kelch – Northern Illinois Univ.

Watch full video with Baseball +Plus here. • September 9, 2025 • By Illinois High School Baseball Coaches Association

Watch as Coach Joe Kelch explains and demonstrates three hitting drills using pitching machines. The first drill involves velocity, and Coach emphasizes the concepts of "sooner" and "slower" to the hitter. The second drill focuses on breaking balls, requiring the hitter to control their body and be on time for the fastball. The third drill uses two machines (the "Two-Headed Monster"), one set up for fastballs and the other for breaking balls. The hitter does not know which pitch is coming.
