This is a player in the Chicago Cubs organization – AA level. He increased his bat speed by 10+ mph within our first month of training. We worked extensively on quick, efficient rotation to unload the bat, as well as connecting the arms/hands to that rotation. Instead of relying mainly on his hands/arms to move the bat, he now does most of the work with his larger muscles, which allows his arms/hands to transfer more energy to the bat while also allowing the bat to find its natural swing plane.

This is one of the most drastic improvements I’ve seen in such a very short period of time (8 sessions over 2 weeks).  Bat speed work with overload-underload bats, reaction and timing training, several different drills for rotation and swing path…we did it all!

High School Baseball Bat Speed Program

This player increased his bat speed by 12-14 mph training 2x/week over 6 weeks. His initial gain, however, came from creating a longer swing so we had to focus on quickness. Each swing in this clip is the same bat speed – the difference is how the body creates the bat speed. On the left is a longer, dragging swing dominated by the arms, but more efficient rotation allows him to generate the same amount of bat speed in much less time on the right. It’s also important to point out that the clip on the left comes from a full load/stride, where he is “just turning” on the right (no stride). This is a great illustration of a player learning to use his body more effectively to swing the bat.

INTENT! You have to practice swinging faster in order to swing faster. Simple but true. Most players never do any kind of training to maximize their ability to swing the bat! This player gained over 15 mph of bat speed training 2x/week over 6 weeks. Having feedback on each swing is vital when you’re teaching your body to do something new. Your body learns to accomplish goals that you set for it, and having feedback on each swing allows you to continually see if you’re reaching the goals you’re setting. This is a great example of intent and learning to use the big muscles of the body to reach the goal of improving bat speed.

Youth Baseball

quickness drill with youth hitter

We create and measure training & practice situations where a player has to achieve a certain goal in order to improve.  Watch this young player execute out quickness drill – his swing is shorter and creates more bat speed without even using his stride.  How?  By using the entire body to generate and transfer power more efficiently…all from a simple drill.
