They simply identify a hitters’ strengths and weaknesses. The higher the percentage on a consistent basis, means they have better bat control and proper swing mechanics. The more consistently they control the bat head and make solid contact, the greater the chances of improving as a hitter. This equates to higher batting average, on base percentage and in many cases hitters will improve their bat speed because they develop shorter quicker swings which increases power.

Players typically like to work more on the things they are good at. We want them to work on their weaknesses and challenge themselves to become better hitters, however they should continue to maintain or improve their strengths. They need to understand this is not about looking good and only hitting pitches that they are good at; it’s about getting better as a hitter and continually working towards becoming more consistent on all pitch locations on a daily basis. The bigger a hitter can expand their hitting zone, in other words, if they can drive more pitches successfully in a bigger area (zone), the better the hitter they can become.
