This week's focus

Casting the Hands

Shorten the path to the ball. Work knob-to-ball connection drills this week, then layer in tee work on the outer third to feel the barrel staying inside.

Priority Drills

Back-to-the-Screen Drill

Eliminate bat casting by keeping the knob to the ball path

1
  1. 1.Stand with your back to a fence or batting cage screen, 6-8 inches away
  2. 2.Take your normal stance and begin the swing
  3. 3.The bat should NOT hit the screen on the backswing or early downswing
  4. 4.If the barrel hits the screen, you are casting — the screen provides immediate feedback
3 sets of 15 tee swingsFeel: Feel your hands staying close — knob leading, barrel dragging. Watch examples

Connection Ball Drill

Keep the back elbow and hands connected to the torso through the swing to prevent the barrel from casting away from the body

2
  1. 1.Place a small foam or connection ball between your back elbow/forearm and your ribcage at setup
  2. 2.Swing at tee balls while keeping the ball pinned in place through the load and into the downswing
  3. 3.If the ball drops early, your back elbow is disconnecting and casting the barrel away from your body
  4. 4.The ball should release naturally only after the hands start moving toward contact, not before
3 sets of 12 tee swings with the connection ballFeel: Keep the ball pinned — elbow stays connected to your side until your hands start moving to the ball. Watch examples

Front-Toss Inside-Out Drill

Reinforce a direct, inside path to the ball at live speed so the barrel does not cast outward on inside pitches

3
  1. 1.Have a partner front-toss from behind an L-screen, 12-15 feet away, targeting the inner half of the plate
  2. 2.Start your hands inside the ball and drive the knob toward the incoming pitch before the barrel releases
  3. 3.If the barrel whips out and around instead of staying inside, the toss will jam you or produce a weak foul ball
  4. 4.Call out "inside" on reps that stay connected and "cast" on reps that leak the barrel out early, building self-awareness
3 sets of 12 front-toss swings to the inner halfFeel: Knob leads to the inside pitch — barrel stays tucked until the last instant. Watch examples

Your 7-Day Plan

Day 1Understand the fix — slow reps grooving the feel of correcting "casting the hands".
Day 2Back-to-the-Screen Drill — block practice, quality over quantity.
Day 3Back-to-the-Screen Drill at full speed, then add Connection Ball Drill.
Day 4Connection Ball Drill — build it into a repeatable pattern.
Day 5Front-Toss Inside-Out Drill — integrate the new feel into normal swings.
Day 6Pressure practice — random reps and a small game/scoring challenge.
Day 7Re-film and retest. Compare against today to confirm the change is sticking.
