- Duration:
- About 15 min
- Setting:
- Indoor or outdoor

Coaching notes
Driveline Baseball drill where hitters perform swings from offset open stance, then no-stride regular, then offset closed, focusing on line-drive flight and maintaining path and sequencing as setup changes.
Objectives
Develop adjustability for different pitch locations and ability to drive the ball to all fields with the same swing principles.
Coaching cues
Produce line-drive flight from each position; maintain swing mechanics; stay connected; avoid under or over-rotating.
Common errors
Mechanical breakdown between positions; poor contact quality; excessive rotation changes.
Steps
- 1. Offset open swing for line drive
- 2. Regular no-stride swing up the middle
- 3. Offset closed swing
- 4. Repeat focusing on consistent path
