Product Descriptions: 

• Hitting Nets 
• High quality. We use them for both practice tee work and pitching drills. 
• Tanner Tees
• Very high quality tee that will last many seasons. 
• Lightning Bolt
• Great alternative to front toss, that works on bat-to-balls skills & timing. Big fan of this tool. I set it up in the outfield during BP and hitters can get extra work with it. 
• Power Swing Bat
• I’m a big fan of resistance training. This is a great tool to help hitters activate their core before they step in the box for BP. Highly recommended.
• Half Bat Trainer
• Great tool for teaching proper bat path & flush contact. Very simple to use without a ton of oversight. High quality and used everyday off the tee. 
• Sweet Spot Pro
• Used in tandem with the Lightning Bolt. Amazing tool for hand eye coordination (bat-to-ball skills). Used with foam and tennis balls. 
• Foam Balls 
• Needed for both the bats above. 
• Resistance Belt
• Great tool for teaching pitchers to use their legs more when they throw. Can be used in multiple different directions to work on different mechanical elements.
• Jaeger Bands
• Best way for a pitcher to warm up his arm and prevent injury. 
• CleanFuego
• Fun tool for improving spin efficiency on fastballs. Another great self-trainer (like the Half Bat) that allows my pitchers to make real time adjustments. 
• Pocket Radar 
• Cheapest option for velo tracking. Very accurate as well. 

• SKLZ Rebounder
• Infielders use these daily to warm up their hands and eyes. Easy to set up and understand. Increases the number of daily reps each guy can get. 
• Power Alley Lite
• I use this for ground balls and fly balls, not hitting. I set up one of my managers or pitchers and they fire accurate BGs. Higher quality reps. 
• Reaction Balls
• Pregame tool to help my fielders wake up and expect bad hops. 
• 2lb Medball
• Top hand drill for hitters to work on rotational force generation. 
• Rope Med Ball 
• Rotational force trainer for both pitchers and hitters. 
• Jr Hack Attack 
• Best machine on the market. Gamechanger for programs.
