Inside-Out Tee Drill

Dugout Master ✓ Official Dugout Master drill

Players practice keeping the barrel through the ball and driving pitches on the outer half to the opposite field.

Hitting⏱ 10 min👥 1-12 players

Setup

Set the tee on the outer half of the plate and slightly deeper in the stance than a normal tee ball. Angle the net or the hitter so the opposite-field gap is the target. Pair hitters up with a shared bucket.

Execution

  1. Hitter sets up with the tee ball on the outer third of the plate, even with the back hip.
  2. Hitter takes a swing aimed at driving the ball to the opposite-field gap.
  3. Partner calls the direction of every ball: oppo, middle, or pulled.
  4. Hitter takes ten swings looking for at least seven to the opposite side.
  5. Switch partners and repeat for a second round.
