Give Young Hitters a Choice to Practice

The point of this short clip is about making a choice in the moment. In youth baseball, one way to teach it is to let a hitter decide whether the pitch is one they want to swing at.

In front toss, show them a part of the zone they can attack. Mix in a few pitches they should let go. Praise a good take just as specifically as a good swing, and ask what they saw. What’s a cue that helps your young hitters make their own swing decision?
