Here are some basic drills that can improve your game that can be indoor or out, as long as you have a cage. If you don't have a cage indoors, use whiffle balls, they are safe and cheap.
1. Live Hitting - Have someone throw batting practice, but do not take more than 20 swings in a row. Too many swings can cause the hitter to get tired and lose concentration. Quality swings is key.
2. Front Toss - Have someone sit in chair and soft toss balls to you from behind an "L" screen. By doing this you can maximize the amount of strikes you get in a little amount of time.
3. Top Hand / Bottom Hand drill - Use a smaller bat and one hand. Drive through the ball that is front tossed to you. Use your top hand first and take cuts then repeat exercise with bottom hand.
4. High Tee - Take two tees, raise the one in the back higher than the tee in the front. Put baseballs on both tees, swing over top of the higher tee, and hit the ball on the front tee (great drill to help develop backspin).
5. Regular Tee - Place the tee in different locations of the strike zone. A great thing to do is place the tee in the zone where your swing could use improvement.

Those are some good hitting drills. I also love the modified broomstick hitting drill where you hit plastic golf balls with a broomstick.
