Hi, I’m Brian Flynn-Kocourek.  I’m the founder of Tornado Baseball Training.  I love the pursuit of mastering hitting and I have spent the past 10 years learning everything I can about hitting a baseball.  I believe with this knowledge I can help anyone improve their game.

What sets us apart?

Every new student will start off with a thorough evaluation.  The hitter will have their swing recorded in multiple angles using a high speed camera.  The baseball swing is an extremely fast movement and frame by frame analysis allows you to see things impossible to see with the naked eye.  Game swing video will also be requested, as sometimes practice swings vary from game swings.   The video will be analyzed to break down the strengths and weaknesses of the swing.  Swing speed and attack angle data will also be collected via the Blast Motion sensor.  The Blast Motion data can be used as a benchmark to see improvement and to compare to hitters of the same age.

 We will then come up with a comprehensive program to correct swing flaws, strengthen and mobilize the body in order to learn how to swing the bat in a more efficient & powerful way.
