How is this different from a private hitting coach?
A private coach gives you one hour. HPL gives you an entire program — a Rapsodo assessment, a movement screen, a custom plan, ongoing coaching, and the facility whenever your plan allows. Private lessons are a piece of what we do; the real value is the program around them.
Is this only for elite or college-bound hitters?
Not even close. We train everyone from 6-year-olds swinging off a tee to college hitters tuning their launch angle. The program is custom to the athlete — if your kid is serious about getting better, they'll fit right in.
Do you take new athletes year-round, or only at certain times?
Year-round. Walk-in Monday, start Tuesday. No windows. No wait lists. The weekly membership structure means you join when you're ready.
What does it cost, and are there hidden fees?
Weekly rates are shown above and that's the whole price — no card processing fees, no sales tax, no onboarding fees. Pelotero at Marion is a $25/mo optional add-on we handle separately.
Is there a minimum commitment?
Yes — 12 weeks for High School, 8 weeks for Youth. We've found that's the honest window to actually see change in a hitter's swing, so we ask every member to commit to that at signup. After the initial commitment is up, there's no further commitment — the weekly membership just continues, and you can pause or cancel anytime by calling or texting HPL.
How often can my hitter train, and what if we can't make it in?
On the 1×/week plan, you get one coached session each week. On Unlimited, train every day the facility is open — up to six times a week. Miss a week on 1×/week? No makeup, but you can always add a session.
Who will be coaching my athlete?
Instructors with 20+ years' experience, including former D1, D2, and professional players. The lead coach at your location is on the floor every session you're in.
How do you track progress?
Rapsodo numbers every session — exit velocity, launch angle, max distance. Reassessments every 5–6 weeks so you can see the trend. Parents get the data.
What about softball?
Marion offers both baseball and softball at the same prices. Our softball hitters train with the same data-driven approach — stance, barrel path, timing — adapted for the fastpitch swing.
Can I watch my athlete train?
Yes. Parents are welcome in every session. We'd rather you see exactly what you're paying for.
What if we want pitching training too?
Our sister program PPL (Pitching Performance Lab) runs out of the same facilities. Many of our athletes are on both. Ask about a combined membership.
Still have a question? Call or text HPL — we'll give you a straight answer.
