We do not believe in pitching machines. It only creates bad habits where a player will learn only to hit a pitch in the same location at the same speed. Live pitching, even in batting practice, is the only way to reinforce the techniques which are taught at the San Jose Baseball Training Center. We use other training aids such as hitting off the tee, and many variations of soft toss:
We believe the best way to learn hitting is by repetition and hard work. We do NOT employ a production environment where everyone is taught to hit the same way. We take the hitter as he is, with his strengths and weaknesses and develop the hitter by building him in terms of confidence and performance. We spend time evaluating the individual and customize our approach to the hitter's style.
