Baseball Development

Hitting, throwing and defense on one plan

Complete baseball development: swing work in the cages, a throwing program built around arm health and velocity, defensive work on the turf, and individual instruction when an athlete needs it. Every athlete trains against their own plan.

Hitting

Individualized hitting development supported by technology, coaching and consistent training.

Pitching

Throwing development built around arm health, movement quality, velocity and long-term durability.

Performance

Strength, speed, power, mobility and athletic development designed to transfer to the field.

Private lessons

One-on-one hitting, pitching and baseball instruction with a Rip City coach. Best for athletes working through a specific change, preparing for a season, or wanting extra reps on top of group training.

Programs and clinics

  • Youth Hitting Training

    Youth and high school hitters

    Small-group hitting work in the cages, tracked with HitTrax so a swing change shows up as a number, not an opinion. Exit velocity, launch angle and contact quality get logged every session.

    Monday, Tuesday, Thursday - 7:00pm to 8:00pm

  • Youth Pitching Clinic

    Ages 8 to 12

    Arm care, mechanics and command built on Driveline pitching modules, with HitTrax and radar guns tracking velocity so young arms build speed on healthy patterns.

    Tuesday and Thursday - 5:00pm

  • Throwing Program with Greg Marchbanks

    Baseball and softball throwers, all levels

    Our throwing program is run by Greg Marchbanks, with arm care, progressions and velocity tracked on radar. Built to add arm speed without adding risk.

    Seasonal - included with the Elite membership

  • Saturday Hitting & Fielding Clinic

    Youth players

    Two hours split between the cages and infield work. A weekly touchpoint for players who train elsewhere during the week or are new to structured practice.

  • Cage Rentals

    Individuals, families and teams

    Rent a cage and get your own work in. Packages are available for players and teams who use the building week after week.
