Making the jump to the big diamond is one of the toughest transitions for young hitters. Longer base paths, faster pitching and bigger fields can expose bad habits fast. In this episode, we focus on what hitters really need when moving up in competition — strong fundamentals, simple routines and a smart approach instead of quick-fix gadgets.

We break down hitting styles, how to use video feedback effectively, ways to improve eye-hand coordination and the movement patterns that translate to success on the bigger field. We also share practical do’s and don’ts for parents and coaches trying to support players through this critical stage. If you have a player preparing for the big diamond, this episode gives you a clear roadmap. We hope you enjoy!
