Great opportunity for Baseball and Softball Players!

🔥 Elite Hitting Clinic with Nationally Known Instructor John Sangillo 🔥

Less than 2 weeks away!

We’re bringing one of the most respected hitting minds in the country to Hitters Count for a special 2-day Elite Hitting Clinic for both softball and baseball players.

Since entering the softball world in 2020, John Sangillo has helped develop 30+ college commits to top programs across the country — including athletes who have gone on to win major conference awards.

What makes John different is simple:
He doesn’t just teach drills.

He teaches hitters how elite swings actually work.

Players will learn how the body creates power, adjustability, and consistent barrel path — the same movement patterns used by high-level hitters.

⚾🥎 Players Will Learn
✔ How to control the center of mass
✔ Proximal-to-distal sequencing for bat speed
✔ Why the body—not the hands—controls the barrel
✔ How elite hitters create adjustability and power

⭐ “Nobody else teaches how to move the body to be an elite hitter better than John. He is the best of the best.”
— Kiley Hogan

This weekend we had 3 coaches attend the National Softball Coaches Convention at Mohegan Sun in CT.

Corrine (Head Coach), Rylee (Head Coach) and Abby (Assistant Coach) were able to spend two days learning different techniques, drills and got to look at new equipment. They were able to meet Joey Lye (IMG Head Softball Coach, Canadian National Softball Team) and Ally Carda (USA Softball National team).

Along with meeting two amazing softball players they were able to attend many different break out rooms and live demos with Ken Eriksen, Laura Valentino, Beth Krysiak and many more.

We are so proud of our coaches for wanting to grow, learn and develop their coaching skills. This game will never stop changing so taking the steps to continue learning even as a coach is incredible. Rylee, Abby and Corrine will now be able to take what they have learned to their teams and continue to grow the game of softball!
