thursday hit day practice

The wildcats thursday's are spent hitting during practice. Yesterday with only 6 Wildcats on the field bats were swinging. Tee stations, soft toss, and in the batting cage. Focusing on quick hands through the hitting zone for some others pivoting, throwing the hips, and squishing the bug. New drills like throwing 2 different colored whiffle balls in the air and calling out one color to hit forced the girls focus. Tom tossed balls from behind the girls getting them to pick up the ball as it came into view then quick hands to contact. Batting practice off of coach pitching focusing on line drive hitting, driving the ball through the infield. After at least 300 swings each, the girls got the pleasure of hitting live pitching as Taylor took the circle with Haley behind the plate. At 7:00, more than 300 swings in, the 6 Wildcats that worked for 2 hours on hitting were ready to go home. Back to work Tuesday, defense day. Next week is tournament week, practices will take a slight change in tempo and once again allow the coaches to see who will play where and who will bat where in Novato friday, saturday, and sunday.
