Hitting program Info
Our hitting program is designed to mold your athlete into a better hitter by focusing on mechanics to give each hitter a solid foundation to allow them to perform at their best and be ready for Day 1 of their upcoming season.
Our 14-week Hitting Program will have various drills, along with simple fundamentals to help further understand each specific athlete's swing, including video breakdown. For the first 10-weeks, hitters will be hitting off a machine to work on timing. For the last 4-weeks, hitters will be taking live at bats against pitchers. This will allow our hitters to see all their hard work put into action and feel ready and confident as they prepare for their upcoming season.
Our hitting program will:
Provide swing breakdown and analysis
-
Offer a consistent swing schedule and drill progression
-
Arm athletes with tips for how to mentally approach each at bat
There will be Rapsodo readings at the start/middle/end of the program to follow the progression of each athlete. The readings will capture exit velocity, launch angle and direction and will track the overall progression of each athlete. See below for an introduction to Rapsodo Hitting 2.0.
