Your head doesn’t need to rotate with your body.

After foot strike, we want the head to stay relatively still while the body rotates around a stable center axis. When the head moves with the rotation, we can lose our center, disrupt our vision, and make it harder to consistently deliver the barrel to the ball.

In this drill:

➡️ Hold a kettlebell with the lead arm straight down
➡️ Land and pause briefly
➡️ Drop the kettlebell
➡️ Rotate and swing with an open top hand
➡️ Keep the head quiet as the body rotates

The goal: stable head + rotational movement = better control of the swing.

Why should players train with a pancake mitt? ⚾️

Here are 3 reasons every infielder can benefit from it:

1️⃣ Develop soft hands
The pancake mitt has very little structure and no traditional pocket, forcing players to learn how to receive the baseball instead of simply squeezing their glove. Players have to stay relaxed, track the ball all the way in, and let their hands absorb the baseball.

2️⃣ Build better hand positioning
Because the pancake mitt is less forgiving, players have to focus on getting their hands out in front, presenting the glove correctly, and using their throwing hand to secure the ball. It creates better habits for routine ground balls, short hops, and quick exchanges.

3️⃣ Attack the baseball with confidence
The pancake mitt exposes lazy footwork and poor positioning. Players have to move through the baseball, get their body behind it, and attack instead of waiting for the ball to come to them. That builds better movement patterns and confidence that transfer directly to a traditional glove.

The goal isn’t to replace your regular glove, it’s to make you better when you put it back on. 🔥

Train the hands. Train the feet. Train the confidence.

Support One of Our Own ❤️

In 2020, Levi was diagnosed with high-risk T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia at just four years old.

After an incredibly brave fight, he beat cancer and rang the bell on November 27, 2022.

Today, Levi is back on the field doing what he loves—playing baseball and training right here at D-BAT.

This week only (May 3–May 9):
⚾ 50% of all cage rentals will be donated to support blood cancer research and Levi’s journey.

Train with purpose. Every swing makes a difference.

These camps are designed to give players consistent, structured work throughout the week. Each day is planned to maximize reps and keep players engaged, with a clear focus on development across all areas of the game.

Players will rotate through hitting, fielding, speed & agility, and controlled competition 🏃‍♂️💨 The goal is to build a routine where they’re improving through repetition while also learning how to apply those skills in game-like situations.

We prioritize organization and structure so each session runs with purpose. From swings to defensive work to movement training, the focus stays on quality reps and steady development from start to finish.

This is a strong option for players looking to stay active during the summer, build better habits, and get consistent work in over the course of the week.

Registration is open now.

Wyatt is heading back to the Mariners organization to continue his playing career, and we’re incredibly grateful for the time he spent with us at D-BAT. ⚾

From his first day in the facility, Wyatt brought a professional approach, a positive attitude, and a genuine care for every player he worked with. Whether it was a one-on-one lesson or a full camp group, he made sure each kid felt encouraged, supported, and excited to keep improving. His presence on the floor was steady, upbeat, and exactly what you want from someone representing your program. 💙

He did a great job connecting with players of all ages and skill levels, and his impact went far beyond just the drills he ran. Wyatt was a great teammate to the staff, a strong example for the players, and a meaningful part of what we’re building here every day. ⚾

We’re proud to have had him in the facility and thankful for everything he gave to our players and families. Now it’s time for him to get back to work on the field, and we can’t wait to follow along as he continues to climb the ladder in the Mariners system. 🚀

Good luck this season, Wyatt. We’ll be cheering you on from back home. ⚾💙
