Smash Factor Balls are great for training bat speed because they allow for high-intensity swings without punishment for mishits. But that bat speed has to carry over into hitting baseballs. Bat Speed Derby with both types of balls using Blast Motion for a tight feedback loop.

🌪️ THE TORNADO DRILL 🌪️ (For hitters who are “serious about getting to 100 mph bat speed”) Because if you can hit a baseball while airborne after a 360° spin while locating the ball mid-flight… A normal fastball will look like it’s standing still. “100 swings a day = 100 mph bat speed.” Science.

“Do you care about how fast the bat is moving or how hard the ball comes off the bat? Exit Velo is going to be way more important. So it’s not always about bat speed…Luis Urias has the lowest bat speed in all of baseball. For him, it’s not about how hard he hits the ball. It’s not about how hard he hits the ball or how fast he moves the bat, but it’s about barrel accuracy”🥊 Listen to Nate Headley talk about how it’s not all about bat speed and how the Batting Average King has elite barrel striking but the lowest bat speed in the MLB🗣️ #the108way

Jarred Kelenic talking hitting. Precision over muscling up & trying to swing so hard. Strike the ball consistently with good barrel accuracy & good things will happen. Try & swing too hard & you will be inconsistent. You want high bat speed & exit velocity for sure. But that comes from the weight room, proper nutrition, & a bat speed plan. Once you do that & have the elite engine. You just try to strike it cleanly! Hitters University

A deeper look at ‘28 Elijah Archer’s AB’s from this weekend: - high end bat speed - extremely aggressive early - massive raw power & strength from left side - can mishit balls for XBH’s & HR’s - hand eye & bat to ball skills are 👍 - swings decisions, zone awareness, & pitch selection are areas for improvement - LHH 1B/COF/DH position profile - focus on player development and polishing tools could provide uptick in overall profile Jordan Jones l Prep Baseball Virginia/DC

One of the biggest “malpractices” that has been commonly accepted by our game is bat speed training with a lack of directional focus. This “training” is only good when paired with a directional “constraint” to HIT THROUGH THE BALL FOR AS LONG AS POSSIBLE & MAINTAIN POSTURE.

The speed section of the lineup utilizes their speed. Good at-bat by Caballero to drive up the pitch count. Jazz being a distraction on first base. Fun combo that the Yankees haven’t had for a long time

The Toronto Blue Jays jump from worst to first wasn’t luck or coincidence — it was the product of a clear philosophy led by first-year hitting coach David Popkins. Popkins brought in a modern model for team offense: emphasizing bat speed, measured intent, and giving hitters the freedom to compete and own their process. Gaining nearly 1 mph of average bat speed in a single season is impressive enough — but doing it with an aging roster, and seeing that number continue to rise deep into August and reach 72.2 mph in September? “That doesn’t happen without a real, deliberate change in process.”

"Even at his best, he was never a bat speed monster. The problem I see here with him is that the bat speed has dropped even more. I have to feel like there is a floor here where if you drop below that floor, you just cannot be a successful major league hitter. I worry that he's getting close to it." 🚨 Mike Petriello on the continued struggles for #Guardians OF Steven Kwan

Environment design: Smash balls➡️Oppo Angle➡️Offset open ➡️Short bat ➡️Line drives middle of the field ➡️Smash Balls: Contact quality feedback ➡️Oppo angle: Barrel depth/direction ➡️Offset open: Patterning the load (Hinge/Coil) ➡️Short bat: Back up point of contact, forces you to turn tight to the body and maintain posture Simple environment to work on contact quality at different depths of contact. Great for hitters who struggle working behind the baseball and maintaining posture throughout rotation.

One of the top international prospects for 2026 is 15-year-old Dominican shortstop Wandy Asigen. Shows his bat speed/power here hitting one over the batter's eye and drives in the game-tying run during a tournament in February.

Sebastian Mexico bet on himself, took a gap year, and completely shifted the narrative on his career 🚀 He walked into Driveline in September of 2023 with a bat speed of 68mph and an extremely flat attack angle, but tons of untapped potential. Fast forward to his departure for summer ball: bat path cleaned up ✅, exit velo skyrocketed 📈, and bat speed peaked at a STAGGERING 81.4mph in his final mocap. The result? A monster season for LA Tech: .318 BA | .996 OPS | 11 HRs | 55 RBIs 2nd Team All-Conference Oh, and Conference USA Player of the Week honors in early April 🏆 The future is undeniably bright for the LA Tech Slugger! 💪
