Hitting groups are a monthly, small-group program from our academy. Athletes train in groups of 10 to 16 with multiple hitting instructors, led by Elevate’s Director of Hitting, Curt Nelson. They’re open to baseball and fastpitch hitters near Seattle who want focused reps and real feedback on their swing.
This program is built for the ongoing progression of hitters. Multiple Elevate hitting instructors work with 10 to 16 athletes in small groups, teaching what each hitter needs right now and what will help them down the road.
The challenge: every hitter is unique, and they bring something different to our instructors each day. Current skill level, emotional state, strength, lever length, mobility and stability, processing speed, vision, level of play, what they've been taught, and what they feel versus what is real all come into play.
Curt Nelson, Elevate's Director of Hitting, created the program to meet that challenge, and the results show. Athletes have made meaningful, visible growth as hitters and as learners.
Curt Nelson leads the groups alongside other experienced Elevate hitting instructors. His content and methods have reached hitters from the youth levels to current MLB professionals, and many hitting instructors across the Northwest have adopted them. Together, the staff meets each hitter's needs with the right information, resources, teaching methods, and environment.
Self-awareness and learning to make your own adjustments come first. Becoming a good teammate and hitting partner comes next. The content is built around six areas:
Embrace change, even when the process feels uncomfortable. That's the only way to grow.
Which tools come out depends on the location and that day's plan.
