HIT and PITCH Classes
Hitting Instruction & Training and Pitching Instruction Training Conditioning and Health is New York Empire Baseball’s foundational training program for young hitters and pitchers.
- The program focuses on teaching skills that scale - a foundation for development that will continue as the player and the field grows. Rather than teaching players to “just make contact” or “just throw strikes” HIT and PITCH prepares players to compete, develop, and succeed.
- Players will learn to swing hard and “on plane” to maximize their consistency of hitting the ball hard. They’ll also learn to throw consistently harder, more accurately, and healthier - coordinating their entire body’s movements to deliver each pitch from a healthy armslot.
HIT Advanced Classes
Players will learn advanced hitting skills, using cutting edge video analysis and technology. Hitters will work on how to approach and hit pitches throughout the strike zone, and how to hit consistently and with power to all fields. Players will also learn how to hit breaking pitches. Players will also use intensive drills to develop elite bat speed, while continuing to focus on long-term athletic development.
PITCH Advanced Classes
Players will learn advanced pitching skills, using cutting edge video analysis and technology to become healthy, efficient pitchers. Pitchers will work on increasing velocity and on building an elite arsenal through individualized pitch design, while continuing to focus on long-term athletic development.
Catch Classes
Players will acquire and develop the skills to become confident and successful catchers – with a series of structured lessons on receiving, blocking, framing, pitch calling, throwing out and picking off baserunners, and pitcher, defense, and game management. They’ll also work on healthy long-term athletic development.
