Essentials of Hitting | Youth Foundations

Years ago, we asked a simple question: if we stripped away trends, jargon, and over-coaching, what actually matters when developing young hitters?

This course is our answer.

Essentials of Hitting was built for youth coaches, parents, and trainers who want a clear framework for teaching the game the right way. Inside, we break down 8 foundational keys every young hitter should develop, along with 9 practical drills that help those concepts stick on the field.

This isn’t about perfect mechanics or copying big leaguers. It’s about building coordination, timing, balance, and intent so young athletes can grow without being boxed into rigid positions.

If you’re working with youth players and want a trustworthy starting point, this is the foundation we’d recommend based on decades of coaching, teaching, and refining what actually transfers.
