HOW IT WORKS

How Coach Steve
builds game-day hitters.

Not a cookie-cutter program. Every player gets a fully customized development experience built around their mechanics, data, and goals — measurable, observable, and designed to transfer beyond the cage.

WHAT EVERY PLAYER GETS

The complete
development system.

Blast Motion swing analytics every session

Bat speed · attack angle · rotational acceleration · on-plane efficiency · time to contact · early connection · connection at impact. Real numbers. Clear baselines. Measurable progress.

Custom written evaluation reports

Blast Motion metrics with age-level context, strengths, root-cause mechanical analysis, prioritized development plan, and embedded video analysis with visual markup — shared directly with parents.

230+ drill library with assigned homework

95 hitting · 58 infield · 28 pitching · 16 outfield · 6 bunting. Goal, setup, execution, beginner→advanced progressions, and common-mistake fixes for every drill.

Session video breakdowns

Every session includes video of key swings and drills, broken down visually — what's happening, why it matters, and how to improve.

Weekly progress reports & AI swing analysis

Updated metric trends over time, strengths to keep building on, areas of improvement with clear next steps, and the next progression in the plan.

Parent resources

Parents are partners, not spectators. Post-session recaps with video, data, and coaching notes — plus a guide for supporting your hitter at home and on game day.

HOW TRAINING IS STRUCTURED

Built around
the work, not a calendar.

Most players start with an assessment. From there, the right plan depends on what the player needs and how often they can train. Talk to Coach Steve about which engagement fits.

1 hour

Initial Assessment

Use case
Entry point. Stance, load, mechanics, Blast snapshot, and a written recap of what to fix first.
Cadence
Once — then a development plan is built around it.
Outcome
A clear baseline and a specific starting point.
Talk to Coach Steve

Getting Started

12-Session Plan

Use case
Build fundamentals. Address one or two priority areas with consistent reps.
Cadence
1× per week.
Outcome
Repeatable mechanics and a sharper approach in count-leverage situations.
Talk to Coach Steve

Accelerated Development

24-Session Development Plan

Use case
Mechanical overhauls and off-season builds. The cadence most players need to actually change.
Cadence
2× per week (off-season).
Outcome
Visible jumps in bat speed, on-plane efficiency, and game-transfer.
Talk to Coach Steve

Elite Preparation

48-Session Plan

Use case
College recruiting, showcase prep, and players competing for high-level varsity / travel roles.
Cadence
2–3× per week in 6–8 week blocks.
Outcome
Recruitable tools backed by data, video, and game performance.

Oct–Jan

Off-Season

2× / week

Most development happens here.

Feb–Mar

Pre-Season

2× / week

Sharpen approach and timing.

Apr–Jul

In-Season

Recover; reset for the next build.

PARENT REFERENCE CARD

Benchmarks.
Starting points, not pressure.

  • ▸Youth (8–12): clean movement and confidence first; bat speed and exit velo are feedback markers, not goals.
  • ▸Middle school (11–14): close the bat-speed gap before overloading mechanical detail.
  • ▸High school (14–18): connect measurable tools to recruiting-style performance expectations.

Sean Mack

STRENGTHSAdvanced plate discipline & vision; athletic foundation.

BIG ROCKS

  • 1.Create a linear move — stop the 'sit and spin'. Rotational-only swing wastes power.
  • 2.Shorten the swing path — top-hand cast drops on-plane efficiency to 68%.
Bat Speed46.7 mph
Attack Angle+5°
On-Plane Efficiency68%

Strong foundation; athletic + advanced strike-zone understanding. Fix the lower-half forward move and top-hand mechanics and the natural barrel awareness translates into consistent, powerful contact.

Gunnar Nelson

STRENGTHSElite athletic stance & balance. Elite bat speed (62.5 mph average).

BIG ROCKS

  • 1.Casting hands — sweeping motion at initiation; will be beaten by inside fastballs.
  • 2.Premature weight shift — drifts forward before hips fully rotate; eliminates torque.
  • 3.Head pulling off the ball — visual distortion at contact; can't track 90+ mph.
Bat Speed62.5 mph
FoundationElite
RiskInside FB / off-speed

Elite foundation. Tighten the path and stabilize rotation and the ceiling becomes dramatically higher.

Before / After (Sep 20 → Dec 20, 2025) · Dec 20, 2025

Matty Bent

STRENGTHS★★★★★ Head stability through contact. ★★★★★ Lower-body engagement & front-side brace.

BIG ROCKS

  • 1.Stabilize stance & bat angle — width and angle vary swing-to-swing.
  • 2.Hold the front shoulder — opens slightly early on some swings.
BeforeAll-arms, front shoulder pull
AfterBraced front leg, hip pivots

A tale of two different hitters. The 'before' swing was a liability; the 'after' swing is a foundation for a real offensive threat.
