The goal of teaching this is to get to a floating forward, fully stretched position before pitch release ON EVERY PITCH. If they can do that, bombs are coming!! But the first step is to get comfortable with the foot up early. Progress from there once they are proficient with that. Give the “Go” command in front toss also!
Do you advice on the opposite? My daughter hits very consistent at 60 but at 50 will sometimes drop her hands and pop up. She says at 60 she doesn’t have time to drop her hands. That’s why we’ve been messing around with different speeds.
There was the most beautiful wait on a change up and rail it I’ve ever seen from a batter on the other team. It was beautiful.
