This may seem like an advanced hitting drill and it is, but it also works for youth ball players, because most kids enjoy a challenge. This drill is good for a couple of reasons. First, with eyes closed, players have to visualize their swing before swinging and second, they often get a better sense of what they are actually doing when swinging. When one sense (sight) is absent, players feel their body's actions more. Coaches should change the location of the tee ball placement once hitters begin to hit that location well.
Hitting drills with the eyes closed are only for advanced hitters and for safe areas as in a batting cage at home or at a batting facility.
