Coach throws spin deliveries from full pitch Batter has to pick up the length of the delivery and make a decision to move forward or back Batter must commit to getting forward and reach the front cones (red) if coming forward; OR get back deep (blue cones) if playing back Batter does not want to get stuck on the crease - within the black box. Repeat deliveries and give feedback about being decisive with footwork forward or back.
Footwork must get passed red or back to blue cones Decisive footwork is the key, not the shot itself to start the drill Keep head level and still as the batter plays their shot
