Duration: 10–20 minutes
Repetitions: 30–60 balls
In this activity, the batter will receive fully thrown sidearm deliveries and decide in real time whether to play a full swing or a check swing. If the ball is wide enough, the batter should fully release the hands; if it is straighter, a controlled check swing is used. This drill builds decision-making and helps players respond effectively to different lines. Watch the activity video for a full explanation on how to complete the task.
