By integrating cutting-edge tools to measure, analyze, and enhance performance, Futures empowers athletes to refine their skills, address weaknesses, and showcase their strengths through data-driven training.

With over six HitTrax systems and the largest subscription to HitTrax’s latest innovations—ViewPoint and Biomechanics—Futures is at the forefront of modern player development.

Futures Training Center with six HitTrax systems.

HitTrax ViewPoint delivers high-speed video with multiple camera angles, seamlessly integrated into the HitTrax system. This feature enables coaches to analyze every detail of a player’s swing with crystal-clear visuals paired with real-time batted ball metrics. ViewPoint also offers flexible camera placement and the convenience of iPhone integration, providing unmatched clarity and precision.

“Having four camera angles is incredible,” says Brandon Oliver, Co-Founder of Futures Training Center. “Even with the value of a side view, it doesn’t tell the whole story. If you’re trying to make an adjustment, seeing it from multiple angles bridges that gap a lot faster.”

Futures extends the benefits of ViewPoint beyond hitters, utilizing the system for catcher training as well. By pairing video analysis with key metrics like pop time, catchers can refine their mechanics and improve their performance during every session.

The integration of higher-resolution video has also enhanced HitTrax’s Biomechanics module, delivering better data accuracy and actionable insights. Coaches can now capture and analyze kinematic movements of an athlete’s swing, pairing this data with batted ball metrics to optimize development. Metrics such as x-factor, pelvis and shoulder interaction, stride length, center of mass, head movement, and sequencing are tracked with every swing, offering an in-depth view of player performance.

“For everything HitTrax provides, integrating iPhones has been a game changer,” says Oliver. “The clarity, accuracy, and multiple camera angles elevate the training experience and make a real difference.”

With its commitment to leveraging the latest technology, Futures Training Center continues to set the standard for player development, providing athletes with the tools they need to succeed at the highest level.
