Complete Hitter Masterclass Online Baseball & Softball Hitting Program

Who it’s for
For the hitter who works hard but doesn’t know what to work on — and the parent tired of paying for drills that don’t stack up. Ages 10 to college, baseball and fastpitch softball.
What you’ll learn
- Build a swing that repeats and adjusts, with Mechanically Advantaged Angles (MAA)
- Add bat speed through strength, speed and explosive power
- Train the Hitting Processor: see it, time it, decide, attack it
- Compete with a plan and confidence in every at-bat
- Put all four together, then retest with SwingChecker™
Why one course instead of four?
Swing lessons alone build a nice tee swing that falls apart against live pitching. Strength alone builds a strong kid who can’t time a fastball. The Complete Hitter Masterclass trains all 4 pillars together, so each one makes the others work in games.
What players, parents & coaches say
I like what Coach Kehoe teaches and how he teaches so much, I made him my hitting coach. The online, remote version of his program has helped our hitters so much! Take my word for it, I spent a lot of time in Big Leagues, this program is elite!
Working with hitting coach Billy Kehoe has been a game-changer for my three sons. He is truly one of the most knowledgeable hitting coaches in the United States, with a deep understanding of approach, swing mechanics, and overall athleticism. It is so amazing to see how each hitter progresses and their performance improves so quickly.
I have hit with Coach Kehoe since I was 10. He is the primary reason I am playing college baseball at a high level. Just do what he says and you will hit so much better! The online program allows us to communicate no matter where I am!
BK has developed 100,000+ youth and high school hitters, 2,000+ college hitters and 200+ pro players across 39 states.
