Sometimes seeing mechanical swing flaws can be difficult as a parent or new hitting instructo/coac. We believe that taking an approach of hitting the ball to the opposite field helps the body naturally fix swing flaws without having to "change" a bunch of things.
If we think about trying to hit the ball to a certain place in the cage, our body will naturally figure out how to get it to go there without thinking about form. It might take a couple tries, but after a few attempts the flaws will naturally fix themselves.
Try hitting the ball to the opposite field for an entire session and see what happens!

I taught my kid to hit opposite field so well that he looks at low inside fastballs and says he can’t hit them. Now I have to teach him something most hitters do naturally. He’s a lefty and taking pitches that should be hit over the left fielder’s head. I implore you to have your students hit to all fields off the tee to make them well rounded hitters 😂

Thanks for your input. We like to take the "feels" of hitting oppo and apply them to inside pitches from time to time. We are not going to work on pulling inside pitches with swings that have mechanical flaws. Taking the oppo approach allows mechanics to work themselves out. Then we can apply those swings to all pitch locations.

@@fullcountbaseballandsoftba8789 so how does an inside out swing hit an inner half fastball? I agree that training a pull swing ends up with the front shoulder flying out and hitters pulling off the baseball however if you don’t turn on the inside pitch, you’re going to get nubs off the hands. There was never a truer statement than it the ball where it’s pitched.

@@wesleyturner1979 Again. It's not that we don't train inside pitches and pull them. It's just when we find someone with major mechanical flaws, it's easier to work with them on hitting oppo then many of the mechanical flaws work themselves out. As for hitting the inside pitch with this approach, there was a really good baseball player in the 90s who was the best at this....#2 Jeter! In games, yes, hit it where it's pitched. React to the inside and pull it. When training, work to take the inside pitch up the middle or oppo to help keep the bat path through the ball and more directional. If we constantly pull, pull, pull, we end up getting around the ball hitting ground balls, and slicing pop ups. Or you hit it good but it has side spin and curves foul.
