In the Changeup Drill, we are going to focus on timing and most importantly the timing in terms of off speed pitches and adjusting to changeups, curveballs and other off speed pitches.
In hitting, timing is an essential part of being successful and hitting the ball for power. In this drill, We're going to focus on changing speeds with the hitter while throwing a normal front toss pitch.
The Hitter is going to work on their normal timing for front toss, and then hit the ball off the tee.
When doing this drill, make sure your front toss pitch is as close to home plate as possible without disrupting the hitters tee or their feet. Also, make sure the hitter is going off the pitchers pitch and not watching the tee the entire time. Their focus should shift from the pitcher to the tee.
