PRivate Lessons

HItting Lessons

Each of our individual hitting lessons takes place in our Hittrax cage, allowing us to to understand each hitters capabilities and progress on every swing through the use of slo-motion video and batted ball data. We work with each individual to develop optimal movements and mindset to be a great hitter. Fitting with our name, we also incorporate some aspects of strength, mobility, and flexibility into all of our private hitting lessons.

Throwing/Pitching Lessons

Our Throwing lessons are for both pitchers and position players, and emphasize the building of an effective warm up process, athleticism, practicing and playing with consistent intent, command, and ultimately velocity. Arm Health is our highest priority, and we work with our throwers in pursuit of building efficient, connected high level throwing patterns that make use of the full body.

Strength Training

Whether it’s an 8 year old just starting to work with their own bodyweight or a college athlete looking for help with their squat technique, we offer individualized strength training and short and long term programming for our clients. Specific to baseball, we are also able to train rotational aspects of the sport as well as speed and power development as we move from general physical preparation to sport specific preparation.

Development

All of our Private Lessons and Group Hitting Classes use hittrax Technology. The hittrax system captures batted ball data (launch angle, exit velocity) to simulate a real field hitting in over 30 Big League, minor League and college Stadiums

The hittrax also allows us to keep track of progress in individual or group lessons. As we record hitting data, 90% of our students break a previous distance or exit velocity record in every lesson (since opening in 2019)

The hittrax cage is also available for Hitting Leagues, Team tryouts or individual Rentals. Call us for more info.
