How to Improve by Mixing the Art of Hitting with the Science of Biomechanics?

The Baseball Zone and The Performance Lab teamed up to add a scientific approach to the art of pitching. The results of our SMART Velo Project were impressive, so much so that we had to expand the program.

TBZ owner and renowned hitting coach, Rick Johnston, decided we needed to offer something for hitters. An opportunity for hitters looking to power their way to the next level.  So he recommended the development of this program.

Athletes will work with Terriers Hitting Coordinator, Luke Tevlin, and leading sports scientist, Dr. Carm Filice, of The Performance Lab in our SMART Offense Project.
