summary

1.First of all

When you practice alone, where do you imagine yourself?

Probably at home.

Also, even when you practice, it is important to set a purpose and goal . Especially when you practice alone, there is no instructor or coach, so you can't get feedback or motivate yourself.

So, first of all, set clear objectives and goals.

For example, if your goal is to improve your swing speed or your aim is to increase your speed by XX km in one month, it will be easier to continue practicing if you have a numerical goal that allows you to see the results of your practice.

Once you have determined your purpose and goals, it's time to decide on a practice menu.

Practice swings, tee We will create a menu based on your goals, such as 〇 sessions or 〇 training sessions!

It can be a little difficult to create a training menu, so it might be a good idea to ask your team coach for advice.

The online baseball school we offer even creates practice menus like this, so if you're interested, please feel free to contact us.

2. Practice methods you can do alone

Here we will first introduce some practice methods that you can do by yourself.

Practice swing

This is one of the most important basic drills, and is a swing practice using a bat. The main purpose is to practice swinging the bat and form without hitting an actual ball. This practice is essential for improving batting skills, and is widely practiced by everyone from beginners to professional players.

The purpose and effect of practice swings

Improve and establish form: To acquire the correct batting form, repeated practice is necessary. Through practice swings, you can establish the correct form, including how to grip the bat, how to prepare for the bat, and how to move your body when hitting.
Improve your swing speed: Practice swinging is an effective way to increase your swing speed. Practice making your swing flow smoother and eliminating unnecessary movements while increasing your speed.
Strengthening your muscles and endurance: Regular practice swings strengthen the muscles involved in hitting, and repeated practice improves your endurance.
Developing batting sense: Practicing your swing is also effective in developing your batting sense, especially the timing and rhythm of hitting the ball.

How to practice swing practice

Basic practice swing: Swing the bat slowly with proper form, paying attention to each phase of the swing, especially the position of the bat and body posture at the impact zone, which is the peak of the hit.
Use a weighted bat: Using a heavier bat will help you develop more strength and swing faster than you would with a regular bat.

Placed Tea

"Standing tees" are a type of practice equipment and practice method used in baseball batting practice. Standing tees are common in the United States, and have recently become popular in Japan as well.

The purpose and benefits of practicing with a tee

Mastering basic form: Hitting a stationary ball allows hitters to focus on practicing the basic form of their swing.
Swing Correction: Using a stationary tee allows the hitter to closely monitor and correct each phase of their swing.
Practice meeting point: By changing the position of the ball, you can practice responding to different pitches, such as inside or outside, high or low.
Develop a consistent swing: Because the ball doesn't move, hitters can repeatedly practice a consistent swing.

How to practice teeing

Adjustable Height and Position: By changing the height of the tee and adjusting your position relative to the plate, you can practice for different types of pitches.
Hit from different angles: By varying the angle at which you hit the ball, you can practice a wider variety of hitting techniques.

Toss batting using gear

Nowadays, there are machines that automatically toss the ball, such as shuttle machines and toss machines, so we use these for toss batting.

The purpose and benefits of toss batting

Realistic batting practice: The balls actually fly, allowing you to practice batting in a way that is close to the real thing.
Master your timing: Swinging in time with the ball as it is thrown will help you learn practical timing.
Improve your batting skills: You can practice while paying attention to bat control and the direction of the ball.

3. Recommended practice methods you can do alone at home

Here we will introduce some recommended practice methods.

It is difficult to create the environment for tee time at home, so we will focus on "practice swings" that everyone can do.

・Practice swinging a heavy bat 30 times

→ All are home runs, aiming high and swinging with all your might

・Practice swinging a light bat 30 times

→ A light bat will help you develop explosive muscle strength to go from 0 to 1.

・Practice swinging the game bat 30 times

・Practice swinging freely while thinking about curveballs, etc.

that's all!

Eh?! I'm sure there are some of you who think so.

For more details, please watch this video.

It's astonishing!!

By the way, we recommend using a HEAD RUN BAT for heavy bats!

The head run bat has the center of gravity closer to the head, so the swing naturally involves the head running. If you don't have one yet, you'd better hurry up!
