Are you a “hitting-researcher”? Have you ever come across any research that suggests, swing mechanics are MORE important than hitting-timing or hitting-spatial-alertness? With over 29 years of hitting research, I haven’t found any. What I’ve discovered are hundreds of interviews and tests that tell us hitting-timing and spatial alertness are more important than swing mechanics. […]

Which one is it? 1. Do hitters swing as hard as they can..or, are their brains just moving faster than the ball? 2. Have you noticed on some pitches how the hitter SLOWS-DOWN in the middle of the swing? Do you ever practice this? Watch the video and contact me directly to get your son […]

In the early 2000’s I learned and experimented with altering the swing mechanics via the “deceleration phase” of the swing. The acceleration phase should be devoted and dedicated to studying the baseball because.., that’s exactly what happens in a LIVE GAME! Watch the video and contact me directly to get your son on either our, […]

Have you ever wondered about what a batter is really ‘timing’ while at home plate? Well.., I have. I’ve thought a lot about this and I have done a lot of research on this topic. Having mentored my son along his journey into the MLB, we have traveled down the path together where his mechanics […]
Mason Mills traveled from Pittsburgh to Dallas and we had a hitting session together. Stop trying to hit the baseball and start trying to “out-see” the baseball. *Online Hitting Courses… *ZOOM Hitting Sessions… *Face to Face Hitting Sessions… […]

Sometimes.., ‘it’ can be right in front of our faces…and, we still don’t see it! All swing mechanics can be mastered on the deceleration side of the swing. There are 9 models for deceleration. The acceleration side should be dedicated and devoted to PAYING ATTENTION to the ball. Stop delaying your son’s/daughter’s development. Face to […]

Wonderful hitting session with Adam Parzych in Tallahassee FL. We worked on finding ‘his’ natural hitting tempo. We worked his on swing mechanics on the deceleration side. We worked a lot on.., controlling the flight path of the ball, from both the finish line and then on the starting line. We taught Adam how to […]

Too many young good players fade away..because, they are wrapped up in their swing mechanics and never really paid attention to what was responsible for true hitting success. When you get into the hitting laboratory and examine what is the underlining factor giving players great hitting outcomes, one needs to study how the brain is […]

Most youth baseball players stop playing organized baseball around the ages of 13-15 years old. There are many reasons why kids stop playing the game this age..but, one of the more popular excuses is because hitters have a hard time trying to hit the pitcher’s curveball. Well.., I have some training solutions for your son… […]
How does a pitched ball get onto a swinging bat? This is a question for my fellow hitting researchers. And.., what are the best drills that help hitters prepare for game-like conditions? I’m Dave Kirilloff. If your son is ready, if your team is ready to learn these advanced hitting concepts then let’s get them […]

YES ..I’m excited to announce our Lancaster PA Richard Ford Hitting-Session! This is the most sophisticated-innovative-progressive approach to hitting you’ll ever find. “Timed Hitting Perception” is the primary concept that is being taught. Teaching hitters how to master their Hitting Timing and Hitting Spatial Alertness… are the main ingredients that help hitters… “hit better in […]

Have you ever asked a player after the game.. “did you try to hit that home run?” Most of the time the player responds with a comment like this; “I didn’t try to hit the home run, it just happened!” So many times this is the player’s response. As a hitting researcher and teacher, I […]

If…you are searching for hitting secrets, you’re going to have to search beyond the obvious. Start with researching elite hitters. What do elite hitters do differently than average hitters? Well to start, you have to acknowledge this… Elite Hitters are “uncommon”. Uncommon people do… “uncommon things.” If you’re only analyzing the hitter’s swing…well, you’re not […]

Terrific hitting session with Tim Kelly. Tim and I worked on having less of a “gorilla-swing” and having more of a controlled structured swing that lends itself to more success with high-velocity pitches, off-speed pitches, and pitches on the outside corner of the plate. We talked about innovative hitting concepts elite hitters use. One is […]

Noah and I worked on having less of a “gorilla-swing” and having more of a controlled structured swing that lends itself to more success with high-velocity pitches, off-speed pitches, and pitches on the outside corner of the plate. We talked about innovative hitting concepts elite hitters […]
Wonderful hitting session with Will Vierling. Will is a University of Louisville Baseball commit and pro-baseball prospect. Will has been implementing our hitting concepts for the past three years. On this visit, we worked together on becoming more sensitive to the “space ” and path the ball is traveling on. We worked together on a […]

*Special Hitting Session in your HOMETOWN! Everyone already knows the key to being an elite hitter is to master your hitting timing and master your spatial-alertness. Studying your swing mechanics is important and it has its place when you’re trying to develop baseball hitters..but, a major flaw in over-teaching swing mechanics is that you presume, […]
