You could bounce a tennis ball off a wall, and field it. If you have a tee, you can hit balls off a tee, If your city has a batting cage, you can hit the cages.

Indoor Practice Drills: Hitting Drills (DVD) $39.99 With Scott Stricklin,Kent State University Head Coach;2006 Mid-American Conference Coach of the Year;2008 & 2006 Mid-American Conference regular season titlesThis excellent DVD is dedicated to hitting and all of the important fundamentals needed to consistently drive the ball. A player’s stance and set up is the foundation of a good hitter. Coach Stricklin and his players demonstrate how the feet are a big part of the stance. A good bat grip consists of proper knuckle and elbow alignment, which allows you to “whip” the bat through the strike zone. A proper stance will require the bat be at a 45-degree angle. A level head will assure that your eyes are also level. The stride follows a good stance. Loading up the backside prepares a hitter for the pitch and is an important aspect of hitting. A good swing relies on the arms staying compact until contact is made, then hitters extend their arms through the hitting zone. Four things must be present for good hitters: head, back, back side and balance. Stricklin believes in the concept of “staying inside the baseball.” This means you are short to the baseball and hitting the ball where it’s pitched. The first set of drills demonstrates hitting off of a tee. The double tee drill produces two types of hits from two identical swings. To work on the timing mechanism, the soft toss drill gives players lots of hitting opportunities. Other hitting drills include the behind toss, angle toss and front toss. The bounce drill simulates pitches by bouncing the ball off the ground. Moving to the batting cage, players can practice simulated rounds of batting practice. Rounds will develop hitting from different situations such as bunting, hit and run, runner at second with no outs, runner at third base with the infield in, swing away and more. These drills will teach fundamentals and improve productivity and consistency at the plate.51 minutes. 2006.

Indoor Practice Drills: Infield Drills (DVD) $39.99 With Scott Stricklin,Kent State University Head Coach;2006 Mid-American Conference Coach of the Year;2008 & 2006 Mid-American Conference regular season titlesBecause weather pushes baseball players inside, this DVD is a handy guide to improving infield play in the warmth of your own gymnasium. Use these drills to sharpen your edge and prepare for the season ahead. Loosening the arm through drills is a big part of the warm-up. Throwing progression increases in stages of 30 feet, up to 150 feet. Throwing on a line develops good throwing habits. At 150 feet, players begin to work back to 45 feet, where the quick toss drill is implemented. The face-off drill is designed for infielders and catchers to help hand-eye coordination. The backhand and short hop drills “wake hands up” and develop soft hands and short hop skills. The Square drill uses five players and works on underhand flips and proper footwork. Double play feeds work on the 6-4-3 double play. Getting to the base quickly, and using good footwork is important. The 4-6-3 double play demonstrates the key coaching points for the second baseman and shortstop. Adding the first baseman, the 3-6-1 and 3-6-3 double play drill provide the same fundamentals, but begin from the first base side. Moving to second base, Stricklin covers the teaching points while making the tag at second. Using a bare hand is stressed in the run down drill. Using three or four players, the Rocket Relay works on glove side catch and relay throws. The outside players execute tags and quick throws. This DVD is a great teaching tool to get ready for the next game or the next season. 38 minutes. 2006.
