Get Ready to Rake: Essential Hitting Tips for High School Baseball Players
With high school baseball season right around the corner, now is the time to lock in your swing and prepare to make an impact. The players who dominate on opening day aren’t waiting for practice to start — they’re already putting in the work. If you want to be one of them, it’s time to step up your game. Here are three crucial facts every high school hitter needs to know to be ready for the season ahead.
1. Quality Reps Matter More Than Quantity
It’s not about how many swings you take — it’s about the quality of those swings. Mindless reps won’t get you to the top of the lineup, but focused, purposeful reps will. The best hitters are intentional with every swing, fine-tuning mechanics, building muscle memory, and improving their overall approach at the plate. From dry drills to tee work, front toss, and live batting practice, every swing should have a purpose.
Hard 90 Solution: Our professional hitting coaches create a structured plan for every player to ensure each rep counts. Instead of aimless swinging, you’ll have clear goals to improve your timing, mechanics, and approach.
2. The Best Players Are Ramping Up NOW
The players who make a splash on varsity in the spring aren’t starting from scratch when tryouts begin. Right now, the top players are sharpening their skills so they hit the ground running. Waiting until official practice starts is a missed opportunity — every day counts.
