Hitting Lessons in St. Louis
Most hitters don't plateau because they stopped working. They plateau because nobody ever told them what to check when the swing goes bad. We teach three checkpoints — few enough to remember in the box, specific enough to self-diagnose — so practice turns into development instead of repetition.

Every athlete gets a plan, not a drill of the day
A swing you can repeat
Mechanics and sequencing built around three checkpoints your athlete can run themselves, at practice or in a game, without a coach standing there.
Bat speed that's actually trained
Real bat speed comes from how force is produced and transferred, not from swinging harder. We train the movement underneath the swing, not just the swing.
Approach and swing decisions
Mechanics only show up in games if the hitter swings at the right pitches. We work counts, zones, and the plan a hitter takes into an at-bat.
Measured, not guessed
We capture a baseline at the assessment and re-test against it, so you see documented progress instead of taking our word for it.

What M4P parents say

We first signed up with Connor in the Spring, within 3 lessons, my son was seeing the ball much better and making solid contact at the plate. … My son was on the verge of leaving baseball, before we met Coach Connor. Now every week, he happily asks “do we still have my lesson this Friday?”

Our son is definitely hitting the ball with more power and further than he ever has, but most importantly, he is stepping up to the plate with confidence! His whole demeanor shifted after his first session with Connor and M4P.

From day one, it was completely obvious that Andrew operates with a “kids-first” mentality. He has a gift for balancing high-level athletic training with a supportive, encouraging, and trusting environment where ballplayers truly learn and thrive. If you get the opportunity to have Coach Andrew work with your child, jump on it.

My son has been going here, and in a short amount of time & has made so much progress! Not only that, he enjoys it! He's sees first hand things to work on with his mechanics & how to adjust. It's been game changer for him.

Coach Andy is great! He's worked with a handful of my pitchers & hitters and was a huge part of my team's success this past season. Highly recommend sending your players to him.

Connor and Zane have been a pleasure to work with. My son has shown a lot of improvement in his swing and we can't wait to see how much more he will continue to learn!

This program helped my son realize where the power in a swing comes from. Also broke down the basic mechanics and focused on them little by little. My son and I really do appreciate the way this develops you slow and steady not drastic changes in Hopes of big results.

I think my son has made a lot of improvements in a short time. Zane and Connor have been wonderful in working with him and are very knowledgeable. I think he's had a few hard sessions, mentally, but it has helped him a lot.

Hitting lessons FAQ
What age should my kid start hitting lessons?
We work with athletes from about age 8 through high school. Younger players get shorter, movement-focused sessions; older players get more mechanical detail and game-approach work. The right starting point is whenever a player wants to get better and is willing to work.
How long before we see a difference?
Contact quality and confidence usually move first, often within the first few sessions. Bat speed is a strength and movement quality, so it builds over months. We re-test against the baseline so you can see which is moving.
Do we have to start with an assessment?
Yes, and it's deliberate. The $50 assessment is how we find out what's actually limiting your athlete instead of guessing. You leave with a written evaluation and a personalized 4-week plan, and every lesson after that works off it.
What do lessons cost?
The assessment is $50. Ongoing training runs $200 for four sessions, $175 for an assessment plus three sessions, or $275 for eight sessions. There's no membership fee and no long-term contract.
