We believe in using the three ”Pillars of Hitting” to help create a strong foundation with each player.

D. Stay square
E. Weight transfer
2. Intention: The driving force that regulates all movement. A winning hitter is aggressive under control. Mentally tough and dedicated to the production of runs. With a team first approach.
3. Approach: Requires preparation and strategy, it’s vital to the hitters success. Ex. Hunt The fastball! Stay aggressive on the heater & approach the middle of the field (Looking for A swings on A pitches to do damage) As the pitcher expands the zone we must be persistent on shrinking the zone to increase our chances of hitting ball hard.
