You’re ready for batting practice!
Whenyoupreparetodeliverapitch,alwaysraiseyourarmandshowthe
balltothebatterbeforeeverypitch.Thiswillsignalhim,andothersthat
you are about to throw.
The batter is also able to see your arm fall as you deliver the ball to the
machine. This simulates live game action and will help the batter to develop
his timing.
The ease of adjustment and pitch repeatability with the Casey Pro 3G allows
acoachtoworkonthespecicweaknessesofahitter.Forinstance,ifa
playerhastroublewithpitcheshighinthestrikezoneacoachcanwork
thatzoneoverandover.Remember,redundancyiskeytolearninganything.
Toteachaplayertoplace-hit,tryusingcoloredballs.Choosefourcolors;
whiteforlefteld,blueforcenter,redforrightandyellowforbunt.
Withseveralofeachcolor,mixupyourdelivery.Thisforcesthehitterto
focusontheballandreactoninstinct.Whenheseesredaright-handed
hittermustwaitontheballand‘push’ittorighteld,whitehemust‘pull’
