In my opinion, baseball is one of the top 3 best team sports ever created, and hopefully you agree!
But, if you listened carefully to what I just said, the key word in that statement was TEAM. Not “individual” sport, not “hang out with friends” sport, baseball is a TEAM sport.
When you’re on a team, one of the most important things teammates do is help each other get better. Soft toss hitting practice is a perfect time to show just how successful you and your teammates want to be.
In today’s bullpen bulletin, I’m discussing why soft toss is more than just tossing a ball in the air - and I’m showing you exactly how to soft toss properly to get the most out of your soft toss drills. Then, I’m finishing up with 5 examples of my favorite simple soft toss drills for improvement.

Did you learn something new about soft toss and how to use it to make big improvements? Let me know what you learned in the comments, I'd love to hear from you!

Great video :) I was thinking Soft toss was annoying for kids and a waste of time for their improvement ... but the perspective and the drill you mention changed my mind 100% about it! Thanks Coach ;)

Sure thing, glad you found it helpful! I've always believed soft toss to be a crucial part in the progression of a young hitter's development (tee, soft toss, underhand front toss, overhand batting practice).. but the soft toss is only as good as the partner throwing it! Lol

Great video bro

Awesome Coach. Learned a lot. One question, do you position yourself at different angles or distances when you toss?

[@buildingbetterbaseball]

Yes, depending on what drill I’m doing. Normally I change my angle and positioning rather than distance. Moving further away I feel doesn’t do much, but having the ball come in from different angles helps improve hand-eye coordination.
Also using different tosses like I did for the fastball / change up drill and the inside / outside location. Hope this helps!

You should always toss the ball out front of the hitter not at the belly button. You want contact to be out front
