Four-Station Hard-Contact Hitting Circuit
Circuit of four complementary hitting drills designed to increase bat speed, contact quality, and overall swing strength.
- Equipment:
- Bat / tee
- Duration:
- About 15 min
- Setting:
- Indoor or outdoor
- Players:
- Small group
Coaching notes
Hitters rotate through four stations that isolate different aspects of the swing—path, rotation, strength, and timing—then finish with free swings.
Objectives
Raise exit velocity potential, improve swing consistency, and give hitters multiple feels for hard contact.
Coaching cues
Stay connected at each station; finish every swing; transfer the best feels into free swings.
Common errors
Rushing stations; losing focus on quality; changing mechanics between stations.
Steps
- 1. Station 1 – path focus
- 2. Station 2 – rotation focus
- 3. Station 3 – strength/overload
- 4. Station 4 – free swings or timing
- 5. Rotate and finish
