Hey. Just so everyone knows. My man @GeoffRottmayer just wrote a sick hitting book. (I, Chas, have not read it yet) but @burks_darren instantly stole it and loves it. Buy it! Support the men/women in this game who CARE and devote their LIVES to helping players. Geoff, Link!?.

The next time you think your coach hates you, has it in for you, or doesnโt care about the team or the players, consider what he or she is missing to be out there on the field or court. #firstSteps #CoachLife

Baseball Rebellion founder Chas Pippitt talks about The Turn Behind The Turn. The โturn behind the turnโ is the key to stop pushing your bat and develop deep barrel speed. It's important to keep your hands up and back so the barrel can attack! #BaseballRebellion #Turn

Want to be a great infielder? Put down your iPhone & grab a tennis ball! The Wall Ball Drill is a simple drill that can be done to help cover multiple hop variations. It also allows young infielder to get themselves into a good fielding position while trusting their glove hand.

When hitting the inside pitch, the shoulder should never be behind the noodle & you should never hit the noodle! This drill will help with shoulder plane while pulling the ball and staying inside the inside pitch instead of coming out around it and rolling the ball over. โพ๏ธโ

The bounce drill is a fun drill to simulate different hops an infielder might face. The best infielders use their feet to give themselves the best possible hops. This drill teaches infielders how to read a hop & use their footwork to put themselves in the best possible position

The Playing Catch with Movement Drill promotes having athleticism into the delivery by catching the ball, transferring, & finishing through the throw. Erase the thought of trying to hit the target and focus on moving athletically toward it to achieve the results! #pitching

Putting a ball in the back arm helps hitters understand that they generate the power in their swing with their BODY and not just their arms. If the hitter uses just their arms, the ball will fall out. This is a quick & easy drill for young hitters struggling with this concept!

If you canโt see it, you canโt hit it! The Turn to Catch Drill helps players work on their vision and head movement during their turn. A great drill for all hitters to do as a pre-game/pre-practice warmup! Full drill on YouTube later today. #BaseballRebellion #BaseballDrills

What do you think Nick Madrigal of @BeaverBaseball wants his barrel to do in his swing? Size should never dictate your swing. Heโs 5โ8โ 160 pounds and worth $6.4 million. Take notes coaches and players #SwingUp #GetOnPlane @TylerZupcic

The Barrel Turn Drill is designed to help the hitter eliminate all pushing or driving of the knob in the baseball (or softball) swing. Turning the bat behind the back hip allows the longest area the barrel can be in the hitting zone. More drills at:.

If you arenโt straightening out your front leg, you arenโt maximizing your power. The Mound Drill is here to help! Stride your front foot onto an upward slope and turn. This movement helps maximize hip thrust and creates a powerful swing! #BaseballRebellion #HittingDrills

Hesitation drill (seen here with @_erictyler & the Bat Drag Buster) is a great drill to work on staying back, keeping the proper spine angle, & really working on that deep barrel turn! Comment w/ any questions or comments about the drill, always happy to help! #baseballrebellion

Using a dowel rod is a great way to practice when the barrel enters the zone on different pitches. Early in the swing for outside or low pitches. Late in the swing for inside and high pitches. Never drag the barrel again! #BaseballRebellion #Hitting #HittingDrills

The Fielding Ladder Drill is a great way to work on an infielderโs footwork and develop the foot quickness needed to get to the ball and field it cleanly! If you donโt have a ladder, draw one in the infield dirt! #noexcuses #BaseballRebellion #BaseballDrills

The QB Shuffle Drill helps players feel their feet get set before the throw, even when they are moving in different directions and may not be in perfect position when they catch the ball. A great drill for outfielders! #BaseballRebellion

Struggling with timing? Eliminate the bat! Make sure your head tracks the ball all the way into โcontactโ & make sure youโre turning as fast and as completely as you can. Learn to time the ball with your turn! The Rebelโs Rack is being used to help elimate the arms from the swing

The vertical axe throw drill is to help players get the bat behind and through a down & inside pitch without rolling their hands over. The rotation of the axe allows the hitter to see barrel acceleration. The direction of the spin shows the bat angle at point of contact!

Really interesting take here.

When young pitchers are practicing a strong finish the Balance Drill is unpractical because it uses the smaller/weaker muscles of the quad instead of the stronger glutes/hamstrings. Do the Dowel Superman Drill! Use the glutes/hamstrings to brace the front leg & rotate the truck.

Flip the Hips Drill! Great for infielders to work on athletically flipping their hips into the throw during a cut off throw. Have the fielder stand with his/her feet at a "3 & 9 o'clock" position and on a clap, have them flip their feet to a "12 & 6" position and throw the ball.

Isolate. Coach. Perfect. Apply.
Short drills for outfielders promote footwork and athleticism. Technique can be perfected when isolated in a controlled environment like this, and then later take over when going after a live batted ball. #STdrills
