@jakecacc with a 104 mph max exit velocity! Good for a 17 mph increase over the past 12 months! Looking at his @blastmotion and @hittraxofficial data, Jake found areas he needed to adjust in his swing, stayed consistent with his drills, and took advantage of his time in the cage.
Max Exit Velo: 87.4 mph ➡️ 103.5 mph
Avg Exit Velo: 72.3 mph ➡️ 85.4 mph
Max Distance: 297 ft ➡️ 375 ft
Bat Speed: 59.5 mph ➡️ 67.6 mph
Early Connection: 101 degrees ➡️ 87.6 degrees
Coming off his freshman season, Jake was leaking forward with his lower half. Without a firm base in his legs, Jake was falling into inconsistent results, having trouble getting any juice behind the baseball. His goal was to stay strong on his back leg, minimize his big forward shift towards the pitcher, and keep his weight in the center of his body. After 12 months of staying true to his plan, Jake has done a fantastic job making these adjustments, and his numbers are skyrocketing.

✔️ Athletic movement drills
✔️ Constraint-based hitting environments
✔️ Individualized swing adjustments
✔️ High-volume QUALITY reps
✔️ Competitive training environments
The goal isn’t just more swings. The goal is better movement, better intent, and better transfer to game performance.
