Coach Greg Layson shows us an easy way to measure the proper distance from the plate each hitter should stand. Where you stand gives you a different view of the strike zone and the proper distance from the plate will help you make solid contact no matter the pitch location.

7-8 yr old coach pitch need to line up with the front 2 corners of the plate. Most all coach pitch balls land in the dirt directly at the back of the plate. 9yr olds and up could use that drill. Whatever happen to just letting the bat touch the middle of the plate? My team just ordered the MaxBP machine. I can’t wait for my 7U to use it! Teach a kid to watch the baseball all the way to the bat. That is a goal!
