Hitting a baseball or softball is one of the most difficult things to do in sports. The difficultly increases with each level a player achieves. The only way to become a consistent hitter is to learn the proper fundamentals of the swing and working on those fundamentals consistently until the player develops muscle memory.

We believe there are 4 fundamentals every player must master to become a consistent and dangerous hitter:

1. Hitters must feel their proper load.
2. Hands must stay connected to shoulder.
3. Feet must stay connected to the ground.
4. Their eyes must track the ball.

The Fastball Academy fundamentals are built through a variety of drills consisting of dry cuts, tee work, front toss, live pitching, and many more. TFA’s coaches will work with each hitter to achieve a strong understanding of these keys, e.g. how they work and why they work. Once mastered, our batters are free to simply react and crush balls.
