Utilize Blast & Trackman to provide immediate feedback and track the rounds.

In summary, help hitters avoid going into swing mode during training by adding approach to the environment.

Approach in plus counts:
Move the bat fast ➡️ Hunt the heart of the plate ➡️ Do damage

[Nicholas McCormick @nickmac_16]

As a hitting coach I think it’s very important to make sure hitters don't go into swing mode during training.

Machine work has become a huge part of training hitters and for good reason, as hitters need to be challenged to prepare for what they’re going to see on gameday.

[Nicholas McCormick @nickmac_16]

Cont'd off the example above, lets create an environment that emphasizes hammering heaters in + counts:

Environment: iPitch heaters simulating low 90s w/ mixed locations.
Goal: Bat Speed above current avg and swing at heaters in the heart of the plate/take on the edges.

Two previous assistants moved on to full time D1 assistant positions. Former head coach is now in professional baseball. Great place to learn, grow, and showcase your ability to help players get better.
