I tell my RH hitters .... with a runner on 2B, a pitch on the outer half of the plate is a big RBI opportunity.
Rack up two RBIs for Hugo on this outside pitch.

lol, my poor kids are beaten to death on it.
I'm saying learn to hit the outside pitch deep in the zone, and that the Bustos tee line is useful. The idea that learning to hit a high pitch, etc. is bad, is a failed concept. More information is always better; that is an absolute. Hard down the line or foul is a likely result.

The notion that a pitch on the outside edge of the plate travels deeper (than a pitch on the inside edge of the plate) is true, but what Bustos shows is a huge exaggeration ... and IMO such nonsense has people wasting a fair amount of time & burning in bad habits. Further, the notion that the "hitting line" continues linearly to the chalk line of the opposite batter's box is silly. If you run the experiment I mentioned, and hit balls over the fence from home plate, you'll find that there is a distance off of the plate where you have to actually go out an get the ball more ... virtually the opposite of letting it travel deeper.

Coach Lisle, I did not know you were a member here.
I want to apologize for my remarks and I have removed them. They will still appear where other people quoted me but I can't fix that.
It's too easy to forget that there is a real person on the other end of this stuff and I should have thought of that before I posted them.
I also respect that you came onto this forum to defend your view.

I appreciate all of that. I really didn't want to come on here to "defend" myself, I just thought that I could have done a better job with my original Facebook post and didn't feel comfortable leaving it at that.
Take a close look at these tees to see the difference. I prefer the second one...

Okay- defend was the wrong word. I just keep stepping in it. How about thanks for participating here as a better alternative.
Again, I apologize.
Again, I apologize.

FP, this might be easier, 3' of carpet runner and a can of spray paint. We use the hitting lines, those are pretty close for my dd's.

I use a similar arrangement. I don't use the tees I posted. Just posted them to show the difference in the angles being used. You will notice the angle on the first tee is much sharper than on the second tee.
