Softball Pitching Camp (5-weeks)

During the Softball Pitching Camp pitchers will specialize in pitching fundamentals and increasing explosiveness. Our goal is to emphasize teaching players the effective use of their body to create a more repetitive and efficient throwing motion helping pitchers throw faster and straighter. During the 1-hour sessions we will identify and improve upon a pitcher’s basic and advanced pitching mechanics. Players will learn to throw to specific locations and develop a safe, effective, and consistent throwing motion with the goal of throwing 60% strikes or more. A complete video evaluation using the JC Video analyzer will be conducted during the first session.

Academy Pitching Camps (5-weeks)

Academy Pitching Camps are ideal for all pitchers ages 8-11. During the 1-hour sessions we will identify and improve upon a pitcher’s basic pitching mechanics. Players will learn to throw to specific locations, pitch from the stretch and windup, and develop a safe, effective, and consistent throwing motion with the goal of throwing 60% strikes or more. A complete video evaluation using the JC Video analyzer will be conducted during the first session. Players on travel teams, playing “big league” rules, will be introduced to pickoffs and holding runners on-base. — Class size: 3 players with 1 Pinkman Instructor

Pinkman Pitching Camps  (5-weeks)

Our 5-week Pinkman Pitching Camps are perfect for pitchers age 11-14 who have previously attended private lessons or camps with the Pinkman Academy. This session is ideal for players who already throw 55%-65% strikes, are looking to refine their pitching skills, and learn more about the mental and strategic aspects of pitching.

During the 60-minute sessions we will identify and improve on a pitcher’s advanced pitching mechanics, develop a weekly pitching routine in preparation for the spring season, create an in-game pitching strategy, and learn to throw age-appropriate off-speed pitches. A complete video evaluation using the JC Video analyzer will be conducted upon the first session.

Academy Hitting Camps ages 8-11 (5-weeks)

Our Academy Hitting Camps  will introduce our exclusive Pinkman training drills, advanced hitting strategies, and Major League swing mechanics. Players will receive a full JC Video swing analysis during the first session, and work toward developing a more powerful swing to increase distance and get those extra base hits. Pinkman hitting camps will improve your batting average and slugging percentage over the winter. The drill work performed each week will reinforce the proper body movements to consistently get a player’s swing path on plane with the oncoming pitch.

Pinkman Hitting Camps ages 12-14 (5-weeks)

Join our 5-week Pinkman Hitting Camp to gain more in-game hitting opportunities. Four players will begin each session refining their swing mechanics which will enhance the players’ ability to drive the ball successfully. What does every batter want?……More hits!! Throughout the 5-week 60-minute sessions we will introduce the how’s, why’s, and when’s that a hitter should be pulling the ball, driving it back up the middle, or purposely hitting the ball to the opposite field.

Sure every player takes batting practice with their team, but are they learning how to hit tactically for the given situations they experience in the games? Many batting practice sessions are rarely on the field these days, and while our sessions will be indoors our HitTrax Simulator will allow players to see how fast the ball is moving off the bat, how far the ball is actually going, and if they are truly accomplishing their goals of driving the ball for base hits.

We haven’t met a ball player who doesn’t like video games. Our HitTrax simulator gives players real time feedback with live game capabilities. Players will be able to not only practice but compete during our sessions creating an in-game feel during their training……all indoors! Players will experience games on their choice of MLB stadiums and Williamsport to see how the ball travels off the bat and view whether it was a hit, out, double play, or extra base hits.
