The Processor & Mental Combine Test the eyes and the mind. No bat, no video, 15 minutes.
Two of the 4 pillars of hitting happen between the ears: seeing the pitch and deciding (the Hitting Processor), and staying calm with a plan when it counts (the Mental Approach). This Combine tests both on a phone, then grades 8 skills and tells you what to train first.

How the Processor & Mental Combine works
- Pitch RecognitionCall fastball or off-speed from the hitter’s view. Fastpitch adds the Riseball Lay-Off.
- Spin Read TestHow many milliseconds you need to see spin.
- Guess the PitchRead the count and think like the pitcher.
- At-Bat ApproachThe right plan for every count.
- Pressure At-BatThe same swing/take job, calm and then with the game on the line.
- Mindset Check10 quick questions on confidence, routine, focus, reset and commitment.
- Processor & Mental ReportBoth pillars and 8 skills on the 20–80 scale, your #1 focus, a 7-day plan and the right free lesson.
Complete hitters are built… it’s earned. A hitter who sees the pitch late can’t stay calm, and a hitter who’s tight can’t see it early. Train both, then re-test every 30 days to see what moved.
Questions
What is a Processor & Mental Combine?
It tests the two pillars of hitting that happen between the ears: the Hitting Processor (seeing the pitch, reading spin, anticipating and deciding) and the Mental Approach (an at-bat plan, composure under pressure, bouncing back and mindset). Every station runs on a phone or computer.
Do I need a bat or video?
No. Every station is digital. A hitter can take the whole Combine on a phone in about 15 minutes, anywhere.
How do you test mental toughness?
The Pressure At-Bat gives the same swing/take job twice: once calm, once with a full count, bases loaded, a clock and crowd noise. If the decisions hold up, that’s composure. The next pitch after a mistake is the bounce-back. The Mindset Check adds the hitter’s own read on confidence, routine, focus, reset and commitment.
Is it free?
Yes. Every station and your score are free. The full report with your #1 focus and 7-day plan unlocks with an email.
Does it work for softball?
Yes. Fastpitch hitters get the softball pitch recognition trainer and the Riseball Lay-Off station.
