Watch as Coach Josh Bloomer explains, and a hitter demonstrates this ramp hitting drill. The goal is to have your hitters moving forward and to get out on the front leg while staying balanced. When working the drill downhill, raise the tee so the ball is slightly up, and the hitter is working on staying tall and balanced. Lower the tee when working uphill so the hitter must create good positioning and drive the ball in the air.
Josh Bloomer was previously a coach at Duke University and the University of Arizona.
