Director of Hitting Tanner Stokey and Hitting Coordinator Andrew Aydt joined us on the podcast to talk hitting. We spent a lot of time on this episode talking about the growth of Driveline training that now includes advanced in-season support, and we also talked about how to improve hitting training environments, how training changes based on time of year, and how we approach training bat to ball skills and bat path. Enjoy!
