Barrel Awareness and Consistency with Half Turns
The nature of most older hitters is to be aggressive. Obviously, this isn’t always the case for young hitters which is why the emphasis on speed and aggression is a major component of coaching youth hitters. Their lack of barrel awareness allows them to be inconsistent with their contact and aggression.
However, once the hitter has an adequate understanding of the aggression and intent needed to hit at a high level, they must understand where to direct that aggression and bat speed. For the long term development of the hitter, they must have an understanding of the swing. Because of this, they must know what is important or vital to each swing. All of these things lead to increased barrel awareness.
By emphasizing early bat speed we allow hitters to have better direction. Additionally, they have more time to make good decisions. By emphasizing where the barrel speeds up and forces the hitter to stop after contact, they must use the correct direction to be successful.
TIP - One thing to avoid: Re-striding after initial start
This drill is not to use momentum in order to put force into the ball. Instead, it is used to show the hitter the value in early bat speed. Also how much of the vital components of the swing happen behind the midline of the hitter.
