HQ Sports Baseball & Softball Hitting Classes 

The Hitting Program at High Quality Sports Performance is designed to help baseball and softball players develop a powerful, consistent, and confident swing. Located in Benton, Arkansas, we train athletes from Benton, Bryant, Bauxite, Haskell, Alexander, Shannon Hills, Hot Springs, Malvern, Glen Rose, Sheridan, and Little Rock who want to improve their hitting mechanics and elevate their performance at the plate.

From beginners learning the fundamentals to advanced hitters refining their power and timing, our hitting sessions focus on proper technique, bat speed, strength, vision, and repeatable movement patterns.


What Athletes Learn in Our Hitting Program


1. Proper Swing Mechanics

We teach players the foundational positions that create a powerful and efficient swing:
• Stance setup and posture
• Loading patterns
• Hip rotation and sequencing
• Barrel path and contact position
• Extension and follow-through

Correct mechanics help hitters create more power, better timing, and more solid contact.


2. Increasing Bat Speed & Power

We use age-appropriate strength and bat-speed development drills that focus on:
• Rotational power
• Lower-body drive
• Core stability
• Explosive hip movement
• Quick-twitch development

Stronger, faster movement = stronger, faster hits.


3. Improving Timing, Pitch Recognition & Approach

A great swing is only part of hitting — athletes must learn to think like hitters.
We train:
• Timing against live or simulated pitching
• Vision and pitch tracking
• Plate discipline
• Situational hitting
• Confidence in the batter’s box

This builds hitters who can compete against high-level pitching.


4. Softball-Specific Hitting Instruction

Softball players face different timing windows and pitching angles. Our softball hitting work includes:
• Compact, efficient swings
• Lower-body sequencing for fastpitch speed
• Quick hands through the zone
• Staying inside the ball
• Fast-twitch reaction drills

Softball athletes gain the tools to drive the ball deep and hit with confidence.


5. Video Analysis & Corrective Coaching

We incorporate visual breakdowns to help athletes understand their swing and see improvements over time.

Video helps players:
• Identify flaws quickly
• Track progress across sessions
• Understand body movement better
• Build a more consistent approach

Seeing their swing makes learning faster and more effective.


6. Repetition, Confidence & Mental Approach

Hitting is a mental battle. We train:
• Composure
• Focus
• Confidence
• Pre-pitch routines
• Mindset after failure

Stronger minds produce stronger hitters.
