Program: 2009 Fall Bat Speed Program
This player hits the ball hard! He holds our bat speed record at 92 mph and also our high school ball exit speed record at 95 mph. He is one of the top hitters in NH and is already getting a lot of attention from college coaches.
Here is what he had to say about our program:
1. What do you like most about this program?
We learned about overload/underload training, keeping the weight on your big toe and getting the bat head out in front.
2. What were your perceptions before we started?
I thought we would use training aids and do a lot of boring drills.
3. How have your perceptions changed?
We got to warm up and learn with drills and then we tested during our “Mashfest” where we swung at top speed.
4. What are the three biggest benefits of the program?
1. Improved bat speed.
2. Improved ball exit speed.
3. Learned not to time pitches but let them get as deep as possible during practice.
5. Would you recommend this program?
Definitely.
6. Is there anything else you’d like to add?
It was great having a pro player (Chris Colabello) stop by to give pointers and “Mashfests” are the most fun ever.
