The Mission

Great Hitters hit the ball harder and farther and do it more often than everyone else.  This is what seperates good hitters from great hitters.   Many capable hitters are walking the world today wondering why they can't the ball harder, farther and do it more often.


Hitting For Success:

> Private Session Program

> Explosive Hitting Program

We will work on mastering the ability to hit the ball hard.
We will work on mastering the ability to hit the ball hard more often.
We will work on mastering the ability to hit the ball with very good flight

Everything is Tested and Proven

> We will objectively measure your ability to hit the ball hard using radar gun technology
The exact MPH will read the speed of the ball after it leaves your bat.   Any changes in your swing should reflect an increase in exit speed not a decrease.

So many lesson providers in the world are so caught up in their preferred "techniques" that they don't measure the hitters ability to hit the ball harder.   They get caught up with "looking good".    As I tell all of our students, "Looking Good" does not get you scholarship money or a pro contract.   It's all about the result. 

Our tracking of MPH off the bat is one way we make sure any change we make is for the better and not just to make a change.

>  More Explosive
Bat Speed can go a long way to help a hitter hit the ball harder.   We track and measure exact bat speed using a Swing Speed Radar.   The calculation of MPH gives hitters immediate feedback during training.   Feedback that is objective instead of subjective.

The combination of more speed and better mechanics can result in a hitter hitting the ball harder.   In fact our best hitters will show exit speed MPH higher than Bat Speed MPH.   This means the energy being put into the swing is coming out of the swing.

>  We will objectively track and measure your ball flight
Yes.  We will track your flight and provide feedback for improvement.   Most contact oriented hitters hit way too many ground balls.  We will help assist you in your ability to hit the ball harder with better flight. 

>  Timing
All the technique and speed in the world does not mean a thing if you can't consistently time up the baseball.   Our training includes working on "timing" even when not taking batting practice.   "Timing" is something we are almost always working on.   We will help assist your ability to time up the pitcher by putting you through timing drills you can do during dry cuts, tee work, and yes even batting practice.

We will also track and measure your ball flight during batting practice.

Training For Power "Tire Hits"
Sledge Hammer Training

Feel the need for speed?

Great Hitters Have it, mediocre hitters want it…..

Very few know how to get it!



Fact:   Bat Speed increases can improve power instantly
In fact improving bat speed 7-10 mph can add 50 feet of distance to your hits

Problem:   Most Hitters when they attempt to improve bat speed, actually lose power. 
That’s right.  They begin to miss hit balls more often.

Solution:   A program that not only trains and enhances bat speed, but also trains and monitors the exit speed of the ball.   
If you jump bat speed 5mph and don’t hit the ball any harder than how has that helped?  Answer....It doesn't!


With the right instruction & training some students jump 7-10mph in a matter of 15 minutes.   Results will vary.   No matter what, we will make sure emphasis is on hitting the ball harder with good flight more often.


This is the only program that focuses on how hard you hit the
 
ball and measures the exit speed and distance of the ball.


Why other bat speed programs fall short or don’t work:

# 1    They don’t measure your speed!
    Simply doing over-load and under-load training is nice, but it means nothing without exact objective feedback.   A hitter should know how fast he is swinging immediately.   This provides valuable feedback and eliminates guessing.   You don’t “wonder” if that swing was better, you “know” that swing was better.   Now you begin working and re-working on that same feeling you felt on that particular swing.

#  2    They ignore the importance of exit speed and don't measure it.
To hit a ball harder it takes more bat speed most of the time.   In some cases simply becoming more efficient with movements, actually allows the ball to jump off your bat even faster.  


Example:  
You might swing the bat 80mph but the exit speed is 73mph

How is this possible?  Simple.   The speed of the swing does not come out when the ball is hit.   This is an obvious RED FLAG that says we have some mechanical or timing issues that need to be worked out.




At Mike Ryan's Bat Speed Boot Camps Each and Every Hitter will be Measured in the Following areas:

# 1  Bat Speed…..(Are you maximizing speed, and can you add more)

# 2 Exit Speed…..(Is the swing speed that is being put in, coming out?  A 72mph bat speed swing should produce at least 72mph exit speed…..MINIMUM)

# 3  Distance/Flight (The distances of your ball can improve with greater exit speed. We will measure your calculated distances and also the flight of your ball.  This is great for those who have tendency to hit too many ground balls, or can’t seem to hit the ball in the gaps often enough).


#  4  Swing Efficiency (Mechanics) 
As mentioned earlier……give me a hitter who has exit speed slower than bat speed and then I will show you problems in the swing.   In order to get maximum efficiency our exit speed should be anywhere from 5-7mph faster than our bat speed.  

# 5   Timing Efficiency

This is where most hitting programs miss period.  Good technique, or good mechanics doesn’t mean a thing if it doesn’t carry over to a game.   If your timing is poor, then the results are poor.  I will show you exactly how we constantly work in timing from dry cuts, tee work, soft-toss, short toss, to batting practice.    Timing is the most essential element in game time success.   Often times good timing, all of sudden makes the swing look better.

# 6  Attack Hitting (Mental Game)
Ever wonder how even the greatest hitters in the game can swing and miss at a pitch five feet off the plate?   You throw your popcorn at the TV cursing the 10 million dollar hitter and wonder how they can look so bad.    This is because the greatest hitters in the game are attack hitters, not reactionary hitters.

Ever look at a pitch go by knowing you should have swung at that pitch?   This happened because your attention was divided, or you were simply reacting to the pitch.

The greatest hitters in the world know the importance of “Guess Hitting”.   I like to call it attack hitting or even “Pitch Hunting”.   We will dedicate our class room and batting practice sessions on this concept.   This concept alone can improve your timing, and on-time contact.  It can make your swing look better, with better results.


Ask yourself these two questions after every at bat this year:

# 1  Did I hit the ball hard ? 

#   Did I hit the ball hard with good flight? 


If you can answer yes, to both of these questions then you have something special.  Constantly work at doing both with each and every swing.

Limited Spots:
Space is limited in our facility.   I am going to limit the boot camp to only 12 hitters.  This notice is going to out to families and teams throughout the country.   Once 12 spots fill they fill.


Remember.......

Don’t Worry!
Nobody will die if you don’t attend one of our boot camps.   You will have to go another season doing the same you have always done. 

But Remember………..
Continue to do what your currently doing and expect the same result.   If you’re expecting a different result, you will go insane. 

Also Remember…….
The key to success in most professions is find out what most everybody else does and  then do the exact opposite.    Todays typical instruction is not designed for  someone who is already good and improve results (un-less the hitter is not good).   We can improve hitters at all levels and abilities. 

Why?  The past 2 years of closely objectively measuring athletes of all different skill abilities tells us exactly what works and what does not work.  We are not “guessing”.  The objective measurements speak for themselves.

I hope you can become one 12 participants to attend our Bat Speed Boot Camps.

# 1  Request and fill out our extensive application.  We want to know why you want to attend this boot camp.

You will then be expected to fill out an on-line registration form.

 WARNING!  BEFORE REGISTERING PLEASE READ THIS...........

Remember, this boot camp is not for everyone.   3 Days of my intense hitting program requires discipline, passion, and you need to be coachable.  This is hard work.  It takes concentration, effort, energy, and passion. 

If you don’t have the criteria set in the description above, don’t bother registering.  If this seems to describe you, then don’t hesitate.  We want a student who is passionate about the game and passionate about hitting.

 

See you soon!
