Throughout my journey, the biggest thing I’ve learned is that talent helps, but the right guidance, work ethic, and mindset make the biggest difference.

That’s why I started J6 Performance.

I want to help players build real confidence, develop their skills the right way, and understand the game at a deeper level.

If you’re a player who wants to get better, or a parent looking for real development for your athlete, I’d love to work with you.

Virtual training sessions/ programs launching soon.

👉 DM to reserve a spot early. Space will be limited.

📲 Follow for all things baseball- tips, behind the scenes, fun challenges, and more.

Most hitters go into season with bad timing… then wonder why they struggle.

Most don’t need more swings — they need better timing.

This is my go-to drill to build real game feel before opening day.

It’s not just mechanics — it’s rhythm, tempo, and being on time.

Do this consistently and watch your in game swings and swing decisions improve.

Don’t skip this before season.

Save it. Use it.

DM “J6” if you’re serious about leveling up.

One of the most fundamental drills in the game.⚾️🥎

All you need is a tennis ball, a partner, and to toss ‘em a short hop.

It’s not easy—and that’s the point. Anyone can field it… not everyone can control it. This is how you develop soft hands, better movements, and real feel around the ball.

No glove, no shortcuts—just pure hand-eye coordination and touch. 💪

Simple drill… elite results. Details like this separate players.

Follow J6 for more or tap in if you’re ready to take your game to the next level.📈

Most players want to be elite…

but they don’t build the habits that actually get them there.

Being elite doesn’t come from talent alone. It comes from how you train, think, and show up every day.

The elite separate themselves with things most players ignore:

🧘‍♂️ A mindset that stays locked in under pressure

⚾️Consistency in how they take care of their body and routine

⚡️Training with intent, not just going through reps

At J6, we don’t just give baseball/softball drills…

We teach players how to train, think, and prepare like elite players.

Because when you train the right way…

Being elite isn’t a goal — it becomes the standard.

Train smarter. Compete higher.

If your swing feels all arms, your hands might be disconnected.

When the hands start working away from the body, hitters usually lose rhythm in the swing. That’s when you see late barrels, weak contact, and players trying to create power with just their hands instead of using their whole body.

These are 3 drills I frequently use to reconnect the hands to the body and build rhythm in the swing.

1️⃣Crossover Drill
This drill helps the hitter feel the lower half starting the swing while the hands stay back and connected. The crossover step builds momentum and teaches hitters how to sequence from the ground up instead of firing the hands early.

2️⃣Hands In Front Drill
This drill focuses on keeping the hands working on a line and staying connected through contact. It helps hitters feel how the barrel should work through the zone while the body continues rotating.

3️⃣Walk Throughs
This drill adds movement and rhythm to the swing. The walk through forces the hitter to move through the swing with the body, helping them feel the proper timing between the lower half, torso, and hands.

When the swing has good rhythm and connection, the barrel shows up on time and the swing feels smooth and effortless.

If your swing ever feels all arms or out of sync, these are 3 drills that can help bring it back together.

📲 Send your swing to J6 if you want a breakdown.

Smooth hands separate good infielders from great ones.

If you want to field cleaner, transfer faster, and make more plays, these 5 infield drills will help develop soft hands, smooth transfers, and better glove control.

These are some of my favorite drills for building confident defenders in baseball and softball.

Save this and add it to your next training session.

👇 Comment “HANDS” an I’ll send you more infield drills to try.
