START WITH UNDERSTANDING

SEE WHERE YOUR HITTER IS NOW. FIND WHAT WILL HELP MOST.

The first session looks at bat speed, exit velocity, contact quality, pitch recognition, swing decisions, and how the player moves through the swing. The goal is to understand what is already working, what is getting in the way, and where the biggest improvement can be made.

WATCH THE WORK. SEE THE RESULT.

The goal is not to look good in the cage. The goal is to build swings, decisions, and adjustments that hold up when the game speeds up. The full Film Room updates automatically with Coach Steve's latest training and game footage.

THE SWING STARTS BEFORE THE PITCH

Shannon takes the pitch she is not hunting, stays committed to her zone, and attacks the pitch she can damage.

TRAIN IT. THEN TRANSFER IT.

Curveball machine work prepares the hitter to recognize and execute against the same pitch in competition.

THE EXPERIENCE BEHIND THE COACHING

I COMPETED WHERE PREPARATION, APPROACH, AND ADJUSTMENTS MATTERED

D1 All-American · 2012 College World Series · Big 12 · Cape Cod League

Playing at that level showed me how quickly the game exposes hitters who rely only on mechanics. Preparation, pitch recognition, approach, confidence, and the ability to adjust are what allow the swing to hold up.

Competed with and against Aaron Judge, Kyle Schwarber, Alex Bregman, Aaron Nola, Jeff McNeil, and more.
