SEQUENCE BAT: 3 DRILLS THAT GIVE HITTERS THE GIFT OF INCREASED POWER AND CONTACT

From Travel Ball Standout to ACC-Bound: How Ty Elevated His Hitting Game

When I first met Ty, a top-ranked Travel Ball player with raw talent and serious potential, he was already turning heads. But even with his commitment to a top-rated ACC Division 1 NCAA program on the horizon, there was one piece of his game that needed sharpening: his bat speed and consistency. That’s when we introduced the Sequence Bat into his routine.

Within weeks, Ty was driving the ball with more authority, staying consistent through the zone, and seeing pitches better than ever. By the end of the season, his teammates weren’t just watching him play—they were asking for his secret. It wasn’t magic; it was the right tools, the right training, and a focus on mastering the fundamentals.

This holiday season, you can give the gift of improved performance at the plate. The Sequence Bat, endorsed by former MLB player Luke Scott of the Baltimore Orioles and Tampa Bay Rays, is now $30 off—perfect for helping hitters develop a shorter, more compact swing that stays on plane.

If you’re looking to elevate your hitting game—or help a player in your life do so—let’s dive into the drills, techniques, and tools that make a difference.

Unlock Your Hitting Potential: Speed, Power, and Precision

As a former college player turned hitting coach, I’ve spent years helping hitters like Ty develop their bat speed, timing, and swing efficiency. The right drills and tools are game-changers when it comes to consistent improvement. It’s not about swinging harder—it’s about swinging smarter.

Here’s one of the most effective drills to start with:

1. Swing Plane Drill with an Elevated Front Tee

The Swing Plane Drill with an Elevated Front Tee is a staple for hitters who want to develop a consistent swing path. This drill teaches hitters to square up pitches and generate backspin for power and accuracy.

• How to Perform:

  • Set up two tees about 4 inches apart, with the front tee slightly higher than the back tee.
  • Place the ball on the front tee.
  • Focus on swinging with a slight upward path, aiming to hit the bottom half of the ball to generate backspin.
  • Incorporate the Sequence Bat into this drill to ensure your hands stay inside the ball and your swing stays on plane.

• Why It Matters:
  This drill encourages hitters to develop a consistent swing plane, keeping the bat in the hitting zone longer and improving timing, power, and efficiency. Combined with the Sequence Bat’s two-handle design, it reinforces proper hand placement for more consistent and powerful contact.

2. Bat Lag Drill with the Sequence Bat

The Bat Lag Drill, when combined with the Sequence Bat, trains hitters to delay the barrel’s release until the moment of contact, maximizing power and swing efficiency.

• How to Perform:

  • Set up a tee with a ball at hip height.
  • Grip the Sequence Bat with both handles, ensuring proper alignment of your hands.
  • Start your swing by leading with your hands, keeping the bat head behind them until just before contact.
  • Pay attention to the Sequence Bat’s feedback—any misalignment will feel off, guiding you to adjust.

• Why It Matters:
  This drill develops bat control and power, helping hitters generate explosive contact while maintaining proper mechanics. It’s ideal for Travel Ball and High School players looking to refine their swings.

3. Step-Back Drill with the Sequence Bat

The Step-Back Drill paired with the Sequence Bat improves lower-body momentum, balance, and timing while reinforcing an efficient swing plane.

• How to Perform:

  • Begin in your batting stance with a tee positioned at a comfortable height.
  • Grip the Sequence Bat with both handles, focusing on keeping your hands inside the ball.
  • Take a small step back with your rear foot as you load your swing.
  • Swing through the ball, maintaining control and balance while driving the bat through the zone.

• Why It Matters:
  The Sequence Bat ensures hitters maintain proper hand placement and swing efficiency, while the step-back motion helps build rhythm and power. This drill is effective for hitters of all levels, from Little League to college athletes.

Endorsed by MLB’s Luke Scott

When former MLB player Luke Scott endorses a tool, you know it works. Luke, who played for the Baltimore Orioles and Tampa Bay Rays, praises the Sequence Bat for its ability to teach hitters a shorter, more compact swing that keeps their hands on plane. This tool builds muscle memory, helping players develop consistent and powerful contact with every swing.
