Bat speed training plays. Max Marquez @MaxMarquez_2_ came to Driveline’s AZ facility with a top end exit velocity of about 87mph. The two months of work he’s put in has made him a much more dangerous hitter. Here he is PR’ing off of a live arm - 100mph at 9 degrees 👀👀
Will bat speed training mess up your swing? @Tstokey is here to fill you in.

Bat speed buys you a margin of error in contact quality You see No matter what you do as a hitter you will NEVER square up every pitch It will never happen Sometimes the pitcher will throw you a slider down the middle, you'll be early because you were looking for a heater...
Pro baseball players would throw plyos in the stadium bathrooms and hide plyos in bushes. People have no idea what it used to look like.
