Join Rob Crews for an in-depth conversation with Neil McConnell, CEO and founder of MaxBP, as we explore the evolution of portable hitting technology and the science behind reaction training.In this episode, we dive into:

• The journey of developing MaxBP from concept to game-changing training tool
• Why traditional batting practice might be holding hitters back
• The neuroscience behind visual processing and reaction training
• How smaller balls create better big-league hitters
• The future of portable training technology in baseball and softball

Neil shares the story behind MaxBP's innovative approach to hitting development, including the research and iterations that led to a machine that's revolutionizing how coaches and players approach vision training. We discuss why portability matters, how to close the "visual gap" in hitters, and why the best players aren't always who you think they are.Whether you're a coach, player, or parent, this conversation will change how you think about hitting development.

- How visualization creates neural pathways similar to physical practice

- Research showing improved performance through mental rehearsal

- Why elite hitters emphasize mental preparation

The power of visualization lies in how it activates many of the same neural pathways as physical practice. When athletes mentally rehearse movements, their brains fire motor neurons in patterns nearly identical to actual performance, strengthening those neural connections. This phenomenon is called "functional equivalence" - the brain doesn't fully distinguish between vivid mental practice and physical execution.
