Batting off of a tee is one of the best ways to improve your hitting. Move the tee around do you can refine your body’s approach to inside and outside hitting.
Learning to jugle is a great skill to improve hand and eye corrdination. It’s a reccomended tip at many high end baseball camps.
Using a mirror or a video camera and watch your stance, load, coil, follow through sequence in hitting.
You can set up a trash can at home plate and spread some baseballs around the outfield and practice your crow hop throws home.
Agility, agility agility. Running bases, high stepping, Kariokas. A ton of things to do with regard to baseball specific muscles.
Put a orange cone on top of a batting tee and place the tee at differant distances. Throw the ball and try to hit the cone.
Invest in a "hit-a-way". You can hit 100 to 200 balls a day.
Sliding can be practiced, as well as, and I know it sounds corny, but throw the ball up in the air and catch it. Practice tracking the ball. Also if you have a pup, train him th fetch your hit balls for you.
Do hot grounders (baseball thrown down toward the person) or Bat a ball up for the other to catch to work on pop ups…Pitch to eachother to work on batting:)
there is this sweet tennis ball i got at Dicks that takes these weird hops. Its expecially made for people practicing infield, and you can throw it off a wall and practice. Also you can hit off a tee into a net. Helps with the repitation of the swing.
This is all stuff my softball team used, but it should work for you.
-You can toss the ball up and hit it, then retrieve the ball.
-Throw a ball against a brick wall and catch it.
-For balance you can stand on a 2 by 4 board and toss the ball up then hit it.
That’s all that I can think of, but have fun!
