Explosive Hitting
Does your child need to build confidence at the plate? Struggling to make contact and hit the ball hard? Explosive Hitting builds relaxed, confident hitters who hit the ball hard in games, not just in practice.
- Small classes
- Measured results
- 15 years of coaching
The results are in
+5.99 MPHaverage exit velocity increase
+3.95 MPHaverage bat speed increase
For the past 15 years Coach McArthur has trained hundreds of players to be confident, consistent hitters who hit the ball hard. Most kids do great in practice but struggle to carry it into games. We teach our students to be comfortable feeling uncomfortable at the plate, and the result is a more relaxed, confident hitter.
This is not your common training system
When you do what everyone else is doing, you get what everyone else is getting. Our small classes give each student the attention they need, in a fun and positive environment.
Our view on mechanics
No two players in the history of the game have thrown or hit exactly alike. We don't force one way on everyone: we draw out each player's natural athletic ability and guide them to the most natural, athletic way to throw or hit.
Anything measured can be improved
We objectively measure our players throughout training:
- Exit velocity
- Bat speed
- Ball flight
- Direction
- Throwing velocity
- Throwing accuracy
- Spin
Our training process
- Visual learning: elite player examples on video
- Creating feel: the right drills to create the feel
- Blending: going back and forth to blend the learning
- Backward chaining: training backwards through the movement chain, a method used to train Olympic athletes from the 1960s to the 1980s
- Intent-driven training: the brain leads the movements
- Khaos training: creating adjustment-making machines
