Learn the hitting drills that have made the World Champion Boston
Red Sox one of the best hitting teams in major league baseball history.
In 2003-2004 the Red Sox led the major leagues in ten offensive
categories, and set three all-time major league records for extra-base
hits (649), total bases (2,832), and slugging percentage (.491).
In
this video, Ron Jackson shares 18 hitting drills used by the Red Sox,
including the favorites of players David Ortiz, Manny Ramirez, Jason
Varitek, and Johnny Damon.
Jackson demonstrates multiple drills using
the batting tee to perfect contact points, hit to all fields, create a
level and proper swing path, and drive through the ball.
In addition,
he shares several soft-toss and short-toss drills that can be used
on-field and in the cage for gaining complete plate coverage, learning
to hit the ball to the opposite field, improving rhythm, hitting
off-speed pitches, quick hands, and tracking pitches.
Jackson also
demonstrates one-hand, and "thunderstick" drills for improving hand-eye
coordination, bat speed, and making consistent contact. Use these
successful drills to become a complete hitter at all levels of the
game! 52 minutes. 2005 DVD
