Why This Guide
What Makes This Guide Different
Data-Driven Approach
Built on exit velocity research and Blast Motion sensor data. Every drill targets measurable gains in bat speed and launch quality.
15 Power Hitting Drills
Each drill includes setup, execution, sets, reps, and coaching keys. Organized by focus: tee work, dry swings, live BP, and overload/underload training.
Complete 8-Week Program
A day-by-day bat speed development plan with cage sessions, strength workouts, and progress tracking. Follow it start to finish for measurable gains.

Peek Inside the Guide
Drill #4: Heavy Bat Overload Swings
- •Keep swing path the same as game swings
- •Focus on hip rotation initiating the swing
- •Follow with 5 swings using a lighter bat
Every section follows the same clear format
- Step-by-step drill format with objectives, setup, and coaching keys
- Exit velocity benchmarks by age so you know where you stand
- Bat selection science to match bat weight to swing speed
- Weekly training schedules you can print and bring to the cage
- Progress tracking logs with bat speed and exit velo targets

What Is Inside
9 chapters covering everything from exit velocity fundamentals to a complete 8-week bat speed development program, plus appendices with benchmarks and tracking logs.
Understand the relationship between bat speed, pitch speed, and exit velocity. Learn why exit velo is the best predictor of hitting production, what college and pro scouts look for, and how modern data has changed how we evaluate hitters.
Break down the high-level swing into teachable phases: stance and setup, load and timing, hip rotation, hand path through the zone, and extension. Each phase includes visual cues, common flaws, and corrections based on motion capture data.
Learn why swinging the heaviest bat you can handle is a myth. Understand moment of inertia (MOI), barrel size vs. swing weight trade-offs, and how to find the optimal bat weight that maximizes your exit velocity. Includes a bat fitting framework by age.
Drills designed for tee work and dry swings that isolate specific swing components: hip rotation, hand path, barrel control, and extension. Each drill includes equipment needed, rep schemes, and what to look for on video review.
Transition from controlled tee work to game-speed training. Front toss sequences, BP rounds with intent, overload/underload protocols, and situational hitting drills that build both bat speed and pitch recognition.
Separate programs for ages 10-13 (bodyweight and light resistance) and ages 14-18 (progressive overload with compound lifts). Focus areas: hip rotation power, core anti-rotation, grip and forearm strength, and lower body explosiveness.
Four phases: Baseline Testing (week 1), Foundation Building (weeks 2-3), Intensity Ramp (weeks 4-6), and Peak Performance (weeks 7-8). Each phase includes cage sessions, strength workouts, and progress checkpoints with target bat speed and exit velo improvements.
Age-specific exit velocity benchmarks from 10U through 18U and college. How to measure bat speed with and without sensors. Setting process-oriented goals that lead to measurable gains. What numbers college coaches actually care about.
How to maintain exit velocity during the competitive season. Reduced-volume cage sessions, game-day warm-up swings, and strength maintenance protocols. When to push and when to back off during a long season.
Plus Appendices: Exit Velocity Benchmarks by Age, Bat Fitting Worksheet, Weekly Training Log, and Recommended Equipment (bats, sensors, training aids).
