Throw a Laser
Through all ages and levels of baseball, being able to throw the ball hard and accurate will always be an important skill. Pitching, playing shortstop or right field all require proper throwing motions to generate the most velocity and accuracy. The Goatheads use data driven research to design our throwing programs and measure the kids with radar, slow motion video, PYLO balls (for older kids), and tracking of their progress to help you see how your kid is improving and how you can work with them at home to improve on our days off.

Dinger Time
Hitting the ball hard in baseball is crucial for its strategic impact on the game. Solid hits increase the likelihood of getting on base and challenge the opposing defense, often leading to extra-base hits and runs. This skill reflects a player's strength, timing, and understanding of the pitcher's tactics. Beyond physical prowess, hard hits can boost the team's morale and unsettle the opposing pitcher, blending physical skill with psychological advantage. In short, the ability to hit the ball hard is a key offensive strategy, creating pivotal moments in the game.
We use Bat Blast, which measure the speed and angle of the bat when it hits the ball, and proven training that extends beyond “Just hit the ball!” coaching.
