HITTERS:  Your training will be centered around making you a better hitter. Whether that’s increased exit velocity, improved launch angles, pitch recognition or approach we’ve got you covered. On top of that you will battle our pitchers in Live Simulated games using our HitTrax system to track your performance and stats. If that’s not enough, you will battle other hitters from other facilities around the country in remote simulated games.
​
PITCHERS:  You decide if you want to build velocity, command or secondary pitches or a combination. We will build your individualized training program from there heavy on Driveline protocols. You will have access to the latest in pitcher development. Coupled with that development is the opportunity to compete against our hitters in live simulated games. Put your training to the test.
