We are dedicated to ensuring the proper development of all kids. It does not matter your age, nor size. We start by working on the basic needs so that kids are able to compete at all levels. I learned early in my career that I could be a better baseball player by learning basic fundamentals. That is what made me into a Major League Player. I was not the biggest, nor was I the strongest. Yet, I played against Major League Players. Players need to learn how to play the game properly, so that the game becomes easier for the player to compete when he/she is not the biggest player on the field. We are dedicated to helping your child become the best player he/she can be. Hit Dawg coaches and l work on building players to prepare them for the next level of play.

We will do the following for YOU:

• Help Build Player's Confidence
• Teach Proper Technique
• Teach Proper Fundamentals
• Ensure that Players Learn Baseball & Softball 101

I first encountered Woot-Dog in AA. We had an instant connection and trust about hitting! His knowledge of hitting and mechanics is far above and beyond any other person I've encountered! He's helped to make me the hitter I am today and continues to help me improve on a daily basis. He breaks down swings to the individual so they can better understand their swing! An on top of all his expertise, he's an even better person!

Velo Explosion- Driveline Program at Hit Dawg!

Our pitching coach, Erick Nelson, started our first Driveline session with a group of 8 Academy Players in September. We are very excited about Erick offering the Driveline program to our players, and are even more excited about the results! Since the beginning of the program (roughly 2 ½ months) we have had two players make significant Velo gains! Luke Wolterstorff has gained 10 miles MPH, and Carter Olek has gained 12 MPH. These players work extremely hard, and have shown great dedication to see the largest improvements! The rest of the group has averaged a 6 MPH gain! This group will continue with Driveline 2 once their first program ends in a couple of weeks. Keep up the good work guys! We have a second group of players who started the Driveline program a couple of weeks ago, and are excited to see their gains and improvements at the end of their 13 week Program!
