Many young athletes struggle with pushing the baseball rather than letting their arm whip naturally.

Coach Garrett Swann shows how a simple dish towel can retrain a player's arm path at home.

Hold the towel around your middle finger.

Initiate a smooth figure-8 movement.

Reach back (palm to center field) and drive your middle finger toward the target on the finish.

Save this for your next living room or backyard workout 👇

From day one to Division I baseball!

This one is special for us!

We want to give a huge congratulations to one of our original athletes Caden Chisholm on his commitment to play Division I baseball at Eastern Michigan University!

He started training at our facility during the very first week we opened our doors, alongside his sister Kayla, who went on to play Division I softball at Eastern Illinois University.

It’s been incredible to watch his growth over the years, from a young kid putting in work in the cages to earning the opportunity to compete at the Division I level.

This is what it’s all about for us. Being able to watch athletes grow, develop, and achieve goals they’ve worked toward for years is why we do what we do.

We’re extremely proud of him and can’t wait to see what the future holds!

Lunging forward onto the front leg is one of the most common power killers for young hitters.

Coach Garrett shows how to fix it at home using a tee and any household sports ball.

Rest your front foot on a soccer ball or basketball in your stance.

Slowly roll off into your stride, keeping your weight controlled and loaded over your back leg.

Check your balance in a good loaded position before swinging.

Save this for your next backyard practice session 👇

If you can't control your body, you can't control the baseball.

Coach Garrett breaks down three balance holds every young pitcher can practice at home to build control and consistency on the mound.

Leg Lift Hold: Set up, drive weight down through the center of your back foot, lift your leg with toes pointed up, and hold for 10 seconds.

Stride Preparation Hold: Lower into your stride position with your lead heel held 3 inches off the ground, holding for 10 seconds.

Finish & Landing Hold: Complete your pitch motion into your follow-through position and hold your balance for 10 seconds.

Repeat each hold 3 times to master your body control 👇
