These are the THREE body positions we get to on defense: 1. Ready Position : the body position achieved before the ball is hit, in general, the closer the defender is to the hitter, the lower and wider they are. 2. Fielding Position: the body position achieved when a defender is fielding/catching the ball, it is dependent on the type of ball hit, the position played , and the defensive situation. 3. Throwing Position: the body position achieved when a defender is prepared to throw, this can also changed based on the position played and defensive situation.

One of our favorite training tools for hitting! These weighted balls help hitters feel how to "stay through the ball" with instant feedback. They come in different sizes for both softball and baseball, but we recommend the baseball sized balls (in the link below) for all hitters. These balls are the perfect replacement for hitting basketballs and much easier to bring! They don't travel far when hit so they are also great for hitting in smaller spaces and pre-game.
