4 different type of enhancement sessions offered.

Bat Speed 

45 minute bat speed enhancement sessions are offered weekly. 

During bat speed, each player will be assessed through our OnBase U program. With this program coaches will be able to quickly diagnose each players swing mechanics. After evaluation the players will be put through a program using our weighted bat series, weighted hitting plyos, and machines. 
 

Each session the players will be using Blast Motion to track bat path as well as bat speed and other measurable data points. 

There will be multiple evaluation days throughout the program to ensure the player is moving in the right direction. 


4D motion Sensors, the sensors will allow for our staff to accurately break down exact body positions in the swing. We will be able to determine the exact kinematic sequence for how each players swing moves. This will allow for the coaching staff to directly work on the positions in the swing that will lead to immediate feedback.


Fielding 

Fielding sessions on the infield turd space where you will be able to take game like ground balls from the incredible computer programmed fungo man. This machine is what the top colleges in the nation use to maximize reps with game like ground balls.

Our coaches bring a wide knowledge and experience base into each fielding session, which allows for each player to gain the best knowledge possible. 

Each session will feature individualized work, broken down by position. Infielders will have specific drill work each day. Outfielders will also have specific drill work taking place each session.

Catching Enhancement

Catchers will work on receiving, blocking, footwork and throwing technique. Low half explosiveness will be a prime focus of these sessions to improve mobility behind the plate.

Velocity Enhancement

Sportsplex has designed an extensive program that focuses in on flexibility, core strength and lower half mobility to improve throwing velocity. D1 Sports Training will also have a trainer at sessions to enhance explosiveness. The program will use plyo balls, Jager Bands, foam rollers and other key training tools to increase velocity.

Private Lessons 

Players will receive 2 private lessons to work on the mechanics. This is the best time of year to make changes to your mechanics and develop the muscle memory for it to translate to games in the spring. The ability to get a weekly lesson will be key to making the adjustments needed in the off season.
