Out Front Hitting
Helping Hitters Reach Their Max Potential
Coaching Philosophy
My hitting philosophy comes down to a simple one word answer “efficiency”. What this means is there is no one way to swing. Although all great hitters have similarities, every hitter is different and how they create their own max efficiency is going to vary from player to player. Because of this reality, I use a personalized approach, making sure each hitter is training specifically for their body type, movement patterns, and mental thought processes.
