How to work on better timing at the plate

BEFORE you go straight to trying to fix your mechanics when things don’t go well early in the season, let’s check in on our timing! MOST hitters think they have to make a mechanical adjustment when it could have EASILY been prevented if we spent just a little more time in each hitting session working on TIMING. Here are a few of my favorite timing drills and mental skills to help you be on time more often come the most important games of the season!
