Eliminate the arm bar. When the lead arm locks out early, it makes the swing long and slow. It also makes it really tough to get to that middle-inside pitch. Here are five drills to help create feel and fight against barring out: Ball-on-the-shoulder drill Ball-inside-the-armpit drill Fence drill Bat-against-the-head drill Hula hoop drill Some things work. Some things don’t. But these are worth experimenting with to see what creates the right feel for you. Give it a shot. #littleleague #legendsbaseball #travelball #baseballseason #littleleaguebaseball #speedball
