Archives - Episode 95 - A Data-Driven Approach to Developing Hitters with Jason Ochart, Driveline Baseball

For all of us in the baseball community, no matter what level or involvement you have, it has been obvious that the game and how it can be coached has shifted towards technology and new verbiage, embracing data and numbers. This alone has had its own effect on coaches around the world. We connect with Driveline Baseball’s Director of Hitting, Jason Ochart, on this week’s show to help us see how we can use this data to drive our path towards developing players on the offensive side of the baseball. In this show, Ochart will show how he has brought his science background into the cages with him and also into an environment that has given him a hitting lab to work inside - testing and retesting with his hitters to help develop individual-specific plans to bring the best out of each of player. The best part of this is that no matter where you are and what your budget is, you are not very far from bringing this into our own program. We break down the definitions and descriptions of exit velocity, launch angles, how to create a batted ball profile for your hitters plus we explore changing the training environment and coaching cues to help players attain their maximum potential.
