During team practice move home plate up 5 feet and let pitchers throw live to them. Leave the catcher in the catchers box. A 50 mph pitch will feel like 58-60. Swing flaws will be more apparent against velo. Many will try to launch forward to try to catch it out front. This actually creates a longer, slower swing. Tell them to launch backwards. Much shorter and quicker
