Winter Hitting

The program is designed to develop the complete hitter and is an excellent opportunity to build a skill set that allows the athlete to compete in game. Along with top-tier instruction, your son will receive the best training environment and feedback ATL has to offer. This program will end as school ball tryouts begin, making it the perfect preparation for the spring season. 

ATL Core Hitting Beliefs:

Hit Strikes, Hard in the Air!

Move the bat faster,  Hit the ball hard more often, and learn how to recognize pitches that get off your best swing. 



How We develop:


Blast Motion Sensors and Rapsodo flight monitor to track swing speeds and gather data.
Use of weighted bats and plyo balls that improve swing mechanics, power, barrel accuracy and muscle memory. 

We train game-like conditions: machines and mixed BP along with tee and flip drills. 


Each player who registers will receive a Blast motion sensor which comes with a one year subscription to their premium services ($200 retail). 

Each player will also receive a ATL Player Development Email address to link to their Blast and Rapsodo accounts to track data.
