The Batter’s Box, Connecticut’s oldest and most successful baseball training center with over 30 years of training ballplayers, offers the best and most intensive hitting camp in the state. Our advanced hitting camp offers young players the opportunity and challenge to participate in an intensive training program that teaches and stresses the mechanics and fundamentals of hitting. We teach fielding and throwing during the classes. The program consists of mechanical work, video work and mental training.

Areas Covered (Mechanics)

• Lower Body:
  The most important part of hitting is balance. Balance allows you to see the ball clearly. Balance also allows you to swing through the ball and allows for extension.
• Swing:
  Learning to stay through the ball develops bat control and the ability to hit to all fields.
• Eye Positioning:
  Teaching the eyes and the head proper movement for inside and outside pitches allowing the use of all fields
• Mental Aspects:
  Teaching pitch selection through pitch counts and pitcher's patterns. This is the most important aspect of the game. We press the focus at each and every camp.
