Want to diagnose a hitter's issues quickly?

Watch their feet

Toe-dominance & a ton of lateral force (often seen as jumping off the back side) can create a few issues:

➡️Generally Late timing and/or rotation
➡️Handsy sequencing
➡️Trouble getting the ball in the air pull side

Training bat speed from different angles is vital to maintaining positions and creating an efficient path.

We've got Jack Cooper training bat speed with direction:
⚡️Oppo angled CB with a barrel load
⚡️Pull angled SL with a handle load
⚡️ Straight on FB with an underload

The motion capture is the pinnacle of hitting assessments. Seeing every detail broken down has been a major unlock for all hitters that come through Driveline Baseball. Even hitters in Japan are getting assessed and seeing what flaws are preventing them from being the best 👀💀

Developing explosive rotational power comes down to 3 things-
Maximal effort
Minimal fatigue
Execution

That said, it is important to have an idea of how to select an exercise and measure it properly.

Creating a clean, on-plane path through the top of the zone is key to being adjustable and doing damage on ALL pitches.
Here's a progression using Driveline's skinny bat, machine smash trainer, and mini plyos at the top of the zone that will have your path squeaky clean 🫧🧽
