Power Hitting

Help your players become the strongest batters in the league with these power hitting drills and techniques

Developing into a quality hitter requires much more than simply swinging a bat. Good hitters need overall strength, agility, and the ability to select the right pitch. In our series of training videos, Coaches Jeff Cavaliere, Paul Reddick and Tom Clark demonstrate how to warm up properly to prevent injury, and swing with the correct stance, positioning and technique. Additionally, this program includes strength and conditioning exercises to maximize the potential of young hitters.
