TRAINING & INSTRUCTION

HitTrax brings an opportunity to our academy for the students to study themselves and make their own adjustments while they are hitting. Seeing their video replay while paired with their exit velocity and launch angle is extremely important, especially these days in the game of baseball. That’s why you see all of these organizations investing millions of dollars in this technology.

HitTrax is a new edition in our facility this year and has already elevated the way we train our hitters! From instant feedback to tangible results, we use this tool to increase productivity in the cages. We have found that our players love to use the HITTRAX on their own time to complete training modules, compete in competitions, work on specific areas of focus, and receive key information about their timing and swings they wouldn’t have without the program. Overall, we have been able to dive deep into individual player development because of this product!

“Because of the throwing features that Hittrax provides for catchers, we are able to track accuracy, exchange time, pop times, and more to help guide our players behind the plate. This also allows for our practice environment to become competitive as Hittrax provides immediate feedback for our throwing metrics. Our two biggest focuses are pop time and exchange time. These go hand in hand with one another and have shown to help produce our best throwers when giving these two the most attention. We use our reports to show progress and areas of improvement. These reports allow for our catchers to take accountability for themselves, as well as give them an objective goal thanks to the Hittrax catching module.”

HitTrax has been a really valuable investment for our program. Not only have we seen the benefits from a development standpoint, I don’t know that our players have ever taken as many reps as they have this year. HitTrax is an irreplaceable piece of equipment for us.

The ability to compete with HitTrax is a game changer. We get information that helps us build stronger practices and competitive cage work, while also helping us understand our swings much better.

Immediately, HitTrax added a competitive piece to how I trained. I LOVE THAT. When I’m away from the team, it’s so hard to get a competitive game-like feel, but HitTrax brings it.What HitTrax allows me to do is feel the pressures of a game and help me to learn how I compensate when I’m against them.

“HitTrax is a must for any data-driven organization in the baseball industry. Since implementation, Axe has tracked hundreds of thousands of swings – all documented and stored with all information required to study the performance of hitters. Without HitTrax, the development of our products would not be possible.”
