This is the blind T-drill.

Taylor is working on hitting a pitch that is down the middle of the front edge of the plate. He will step into the box as soon he stance, look out to the pitcher and then close his eyes and hit the pitch. The reason that he is going to work on closing his eyes is, it allows him to feel his power’s body is working in the swing. And he can work and feel the sequence of the swing.

By that we mean, when his front foot makes contact, his back heel comes up aggressively, he begins rotation from his feet, to his legs, to his hips and eventually to his upper body. It allows the hitter to actually feel what the body is doing and it gives him a better sense of presence of how the body parts are working together.

With T-drills, a hitter would want a complete 10 to 20 repetitions per day.
