Advanced Hitting
Our hitting camps touch on all aspects of mechanics, 60% of each session is spent working on hitting while the other 40% focuses on throwing and fielding, as well as, speed and agility training. In season maintenance of the swing is as important as off season maintenance. You do not have to be an advanced hitter to attend the camps. It means that there is much more involved.
12 Week Program
Ages 10 to 18
December through March
Beginning December 12, 2009
The Batter's Box, Connecticut's oldest and most successful baseball center with over 18 years experience training baseball players offers the best hitting camps in the state. Our advanced camps offer the average to above average player the challenge to participate in an intense training program. The program consists of strong fundamental mechanics, video work and mental training. Each weekly session will be 2 hours in length, with 60% of the session devoted to hitting instruction and the other 40% will be used to work on throwing, field, conditioning, and speed and agility training.
Areas Covered (Mechanics)
Lower Body: The most underdeveloped part of most swings, which limits power and pulling ability.
Swing: Learning to stay through the ball, develops bat control and emphasizes hitting to all fields.
Eye Positioning: Teaching the eyes and the head proper movement for inside and outside pitches allowing the use of all fields.
Mental Aspects: Teaching pitch selection through pitch counts and pitcher's patterns.
Video Taping
Each player will be supplied with a video and taped from 3 points, beginning, middle and end of the program. Instructors will use video equipment during each session for teaching.
Live Pitching & Machines
The Batter's Box has three live cages and machines that throw curves and sliders from both the left and the right. All are extremely important and are not dealt with at many facilities.
