THE BASEBALL FIXER-UPPER'S GO TO TRAINING TOOLS

WELCOME PLAYERS

Below are a list of tools and gadgets I use in my everyday training with players to improve their player development. I've always been a big believer in training with tools and gadgets for reasons like getting uncomfortable, trying new things and pushing your body to make a move it is not used to or does not want to do. These tools will not automatically make you Mike Trout, but they can help make adjustments in your swing that you just can't seem to fix or can't get to go away.

Brum Bands

The Brum Bands, aka banded hand cuffs, forces strong hand position through the swing, promotes smooth hand path (no roll overs!), eliminates casting (arm bar), is good for baseball and softball hitters of all ages and best of all easy to use.

Slot Bands

The Slot Bands forces your arms to stay bent and keep that box shaped figure as you go to swing. Any type of extension or flexion of the arm will cause the band to slide off arm, letting you know that arm didn't hold its shape as the arms were turning.

Slot Bands/Brum Bands Combo

Get the best of both worlds and improve your swing with the Slot Bands and Brum Bands. They can be used together during swings.

The Swing Path Trainer

The Swing Path Trainer, my personal favorite, forces your bat to be on plane with the ball through the strike zone ensuring more consistent contact and improved exit velocity.

Baseball Training Bat Tempo Trainer

The Tempo Trainer is a softball and baseball training bat designed to create proper tempo, rhythm, and balance during the baseball/softball swing. It provides physical feedback allowing the hitter to identify and fix incorrect body movements and timing. Once corrected, the player will achieve swing stabilization and maximum kinetic energy creating consistency and power.

Rope Bat

The Rope Bat is a tool that includes a handle, rope and padded barrel that utilizes centrifugal force to create bat speed and teach hitters to stay connected by using their entire body throughout the swing. It solves multiple mechanical problems and provides immediate feedback to help batters connect, correct and perfect their swing with a real bat.

Insider Bat

The Insider Bat emphasizes palm up & palm down hand positioning before, during and after contact with the ball. The Insider Bat is meant to be used with only soft foam balls. The Soft Hit Ball is the perfect soft foam ball to use with your Insider Bat. Both give instant feedback on your swing and allow you to practice safely inside or outside your home.

Swing Trainer

The Swing Trainer allows you to learn to stay inside the ball & eliminate a long casting swing, corrects dropping of the hands, improves bat plane and prevents bat drag, prevents flying open the front shoulder & promotes proper extension of the arms, helps you swing short too and long through the ball, trains hands to stay connected to the body and use lower body correctly and prevents an arm bar.

Connection Ball

Another great tool to use is the Connection Ball. If I could pick one progression of drills out of the hundreds I teach, it would be grabbing a connection ball and placing it between arms, hands, legs, or whatever else needs connection, tightness, and stability in your swing. Easy and super effective for cleaning your path and connection up.

Smart Stick

Another one of my favorite tools is the smart stick. It is great to use when working on things like body posture, tilt, direction with your stride, and more. It is also a great warmup tool to feel movements before you start your swings.

Red Band

A simple, yet effective tool to use for resistance and assistance training is just a standard 15-35 pound red, resistance band. It can go around any body part and is easy to grip for the person or object holding the band.
