Our Goal

To help softball and baseball athletes reach their maximum potential using the forward most "Data-Driven" training and instruction.

 

 
A few of our daily hitting movement patterns to aid in our hitters moving more efficiently 👇🏼⁣ ⁣ ➖⁣ ⁣ First drill focuses on using a resistance band place above the knee to help the athlete feel “getting into” their back hip. Their hip is also slightly internal rotated, and here you can see Trinity executing a great hinge as well. ⁣ ⁣ Getting and maintain tension is that back hip is key to the loading process to then allow the swing to move as efficiently and in sequence as possible. ⁣ ⁣ ➖⁣ ⁣ Second, Trinity is seen using our brand Delta half bat in our dry swing “hover” drill. This drill focuses on loading into the back hip and being able to control her load. This allows maximum adjustability and consistency. ⁣ ⁣ The half bat is under loaded and also makes an audible “whoosh” sound when her bat enters the hitting zone. Quickly the hitter can tell when their bat enters the hitter zone - the earlier the better. A bad bat path will cause the “whoosh” sound to be heard out front and ultimately cause various issues within the swing. Get that barrel in the zone early. ⁣ ⁣ ➖⁣ ⁣ Swipe right to see the new Delta half bats 🔥⁣ ⁣ ➖⁣ ⁣ #baseball #softball #hitting #homerun #ncaasoftball #ncaabaseball #college #collegesoftball #collegebaseball #ncaa #playerdevelopment #delta #deltasportsperformance⁣
Benefits of the “Jump back throw”⁣ ⁣ The throwing concept of “staying loaded in your back hip” is a very difficult one for athletes to feel and understand.⁣ ⁣ ➖⁣ ⁣ Some athletes will hear this concept not understanding it and “stall” over the rubber sinking into their back hip without effectively moving forward towards where they are throwing. Others will push out of there hip/glute through the quadricep and lose their drive power with their weight seemingly falling forward to the front foot before unleashing the throw. ⁣ ⁣ ➖⁣ ⁣ As you see in the second video Aroldis Chapman is able to both sink into his back hip while still moving his center of mass forward. He is essentially pushing forward creating power while still holding tension in his back hip waiting to uncoil is throw at front foot strike.⁣ ⁣ ➖⁣ ⁣ The jump back throw is meant to help the athlete get into this loaded position (jumping back into a loaded glute) while still being out in front of his drive leg. Adding the jump back throw into a specific training regimen can help young athletes proprioceptively get into positions that high level throwers consistently patter into their throwing motion.
🚨🚨 Player Spotlight⁣ ⁣ Anna Timme: ⁣ ⁣ Between the fall of 2018 & summer of 2019 Anna Timme has made some incredible progress. Anna had finished her Freshman year of high school in 2018 playing part time JV and part time Varsity at Homestead High School. ⁣ ⁣ ➖⁣ ⁣ Anna chose that fall to play for the Delta Sports Travel team and to take her game to the next level. Included in the Delta Travel Program are individualized player development plans to help each player progress. Anna trained both skill and weight training 3 days per week from the fall of 2018 to the spring of 2019. She always showed up, took pride in her development and was able to make some of the most incredible gains we’ve ever seen (+14mph throwing velocity 👀).⁣ ⁣ ➖⁣ ⁣ The summer after her Varsity high school season she played 18U class A tournaments against difficult competition as a 16 year old and was extremely impressive. Hitting lead off all season and accumulating a .422 batting average with 12 stolen bases. Anna also played incredible defensively in the outfield. ⁣ ⁣ ➖⁣ ⁣ The jump Anna made during the winter of 2018-2019 helped her to win the Delta sports performance player development award. Anna took personal responsibility for her career and picked a softball program that could actually help her improve at the game of softball.⁣
