Hitting Program

Take The Field Hitting Program Build a more complete, confident hitter and be ready for Day 1 of the season. Over 14 weeks, athletes work on swing mechanics, timing, pitch recognition, explosive movement, and coordination. They move from the fundamentals to live pitching, so they're game-ready when the season starts. Dates: November 30, 2026 – March 10, 2027 (with a break for the holidays) How the Program Works The program has three phases, and each one builds on the last. Phase 1: Mechanical Breakdown (5 weeks). Athletes learn their swing from the ground up. We break down the swing, correct inefficiencies, and teach proper lower-half and upper-body movement and sequencing. Drills reinforce each movement pattern, so athletes leave with a repeatable, athletic swing. Phase 2: Timing & Pitch Recognition (5 weeks). Athletes apply their mechanics to different pitch types, speeds, and locations. They improve timing, rhythm, hand-eye coordination, and decision-making, which gives them a more consistent and controlled approach at the plate. Phase 3: Live Hitting (4 weeks). Everything comes together against live pitching from Take The Field pitchers. Athletes track and react to different pitches, make adjustments in a game-like setting, and build confidence in the batter's box. What Athletes Will Gain • An efficient, repeatable swing • Better timing, hand-eye coordination, and pitch recognition • The ability to adjust to different pitch types and locations • Explosive, functional movement and increased bat speed • A smarter approach and better decisions at the plate • Sound mechanics that help reduce injury risk • Measurable data to track progress Track Your Progress with Rapsodo Athletes get Rapsodo readings throughout the program, so they and their coaches can see real progress from start to finish. The data includes exit velocity (MPH), distance, ball spin, and pitch location. Use the Rapsodo link below to learn more.
