Would you care to elaborate so that folks might get some benefit from your posts?
Would the two-tee drill, as described, encourage or prevent this swing?

How about just letting the novice coach/parent know what you believe the flaws are with the specific drill. They probably dont know what they are looking at in thes clips at this point.
Look at the point of contact in either clip. The Posey clip is probably simpler.
Assume the ball is on a tee at the point of contact.
Now, put a second tee behind the first tee (e.g. back toward the catcher).
Would Posey hit the ball on the second, rearmost tee?
IMO, there's no way he wouldn't.
The barrel drops below the point of contact on the way to the point of contact, allowing the hitter to hit the ball with a slight uppercut.
In general, conventional two-tee drills encourage a swing that chops down on the ball through the point of contact.
In all the clips that I have looked at, only once (Deion Sanders) have I seen a hitter get a hit while chopping down on the ball.

Thank you for this info. I believe the explanation along with the clips helps make it clearer for most.

He is so wrong.
