Most of cage work should be spent focusing on trying to hit the ball on the barrel. Doesn't matter the drill the coach makes you do just try to hit the ball on the barrel. Strong Top wrist at contact, straight to the ball. Start with the drill below in the cage if you have the choice.
Important to strengthen your wrist. Squeeze a tennis ball until you are strong enough to squeeze a baseball. Build up your hitting muscles in your wrist. Do pushups, a lot of them, they help with your load and controlling your body.
Until your top wrist is strong use a toddler bat to work on your mechanics of your path with your top hand. Still try to be accurate with your barrel even though the bat is light and small.
Finish with Velocity off the machine that is faster than you will face in the game. The results won't be great but it's good for you. Try to relax, see it well, and be quick/accurate with your barrel with a strong top wrist at contact.
