How to Stay Inside the Baseball When Hitting

Here we are teaching you how to stay inside the baseball when hitting. Here is the question and answer.

All right Coach Steve, Coach Justin said to us and reached out, "I've been really working with my son on keeping his hands inside the ball, and leading with the knob of the bat. I think he almost keeps his hands too far in through the swing and follow through. What should his arms look like, and where should his hands be at contact?"

I think that's a great question, Justin, because I think some people, when they work on getting inside the ball, they inside-out everything. Really staying inside the ball means is, keeping a short compact swing, and really barreling up, and squaring up the baseball.

We're going to set the baseball up on the tee, so the railroad tracks are coming down. We want to drive through that inside railroad track, keeping ourselves from getting out and around the baseball. We're driving through the inside. So that's going to help keep us inside the ball.

Another thing that's going to help us is, this second tee. It's going to remind us, it's almost like a tattle tale. If I get around the baseball, I'm going to hit this tee instead of driving through this one.

Now, if you're pushing all the balls to the right side, and you're looking like this, we're not really squaring up and getting through the ball. We are getting inside it, or kind of pushing it that way. I think that's what your real question is, Justin. How do we set that up, get to our position, hit that baseball, but really drive through the baseball, not push and peel off the ball? So we're going to make sure that we're hitting the inside part of the ball. We're getting through, so we are getting that backspin. We're hitting through the ball, and we're getting that good drive through.

As you can see, I'm staying inside the baseball, but getting good drive, and that backspin that's driving through it, as well. We want to make sure our hips are behind us, we're staying inside the ball, we're staying inside that swing, and we're getting through the baseball.
