PVC tube with a giant funnel on top. Make a stand for it or a rig out of some aluminum tubing or some wood. Hover the pvc pipe over the bucket. Make a spring loaded sliding door attachement with another door on the other end and some extra tubing to connect to the main one like having two water hose diverters next to each other so that when you pull the first door to release the ball, the rest of the balls don’t fall out. You then close first door, open the second door and once the ball is in the chamber you close the second door. Now release the first door and repeat. Throw a bunch into the funnel and adjust the height for different bounces and you are good to go. If you made an electronic mechanism to operate every 15 seconds or manually, you could have the batter fly solo for warmups or operate it for them. You could include a random launch setting with a drop time between the max legal limit pitch timer and the fastest time between two pitches just to focus on reflex. Even a setting with random where you can totally customize the window as desired would be neat. Manually, this would only cost 200 at most.

Maybe softball is different somehow, as I don't really know but I would think hitting is hitting. You should never fall off balance like that, especially when hitting "meatballs." More core strengthening would really help. Nice 'inside out' swing though. I played Triple A ball, (Gwinnett).

The problem with this drill is that the instructor doesn't point out to the hitter to not Lean back into the rear leg as she is hitting the ball, but to keep the weight more balanced/central or a little more forward into the hit so that her body power stays into the hit not backing or pulling away from the contact. She hit the ball solid but with less power. He says at the end "nice, that's the way to be adaptive." He should have also pointed out her weight shift issue. The drill itself is good. Those of you watching it just remind your players & coaches to address the weight/balance shift as it is equally important.

Nothing wrong with this drill. But if she’s not swinging at every ball bounced seems like a waste of time to me. Even if it bounces a few inches away that’s in the strike zone. Also I noticed he is so worried about getting out of the way he’s the reason the balls are drifting away. Because he’s moving away while bouncing.
