Winter Training Camps - HITSTREAK

We are thrilled to share some exciting news with you. Raptors Baseball is entering into a new partnership with Hitstreak Baseball.

Founded in 2006, Hitstreak is committed to offering the best in year-round training. They offer clean facilities, a respectful and professional environment, and an opportunity for your player to grow in his or her overall skill, development, leadership and character.

We have planned a progressive winter camp series with Hitstreak. They have an 8-week program for players ages 9–14 which builds core baseball fundamentals through progressive instruction in both offense and defense. Players will sharpen mechanics, deepen their baseball IQ, and apply what they learn in game-like scenarios.

Below is the proposed structure for their camp:

Week 1 – Fundamentals & Evaluation

Offense: Swing assessment, proper stance, grip, load, and balance

Defense: Throwing mechanics, grip, footwork, and partner throwing progressions

Week 2 – Contact & Fielding Basics

Offense: Contact point, extension, and hitting line drives. Tee and front toss work.

Defense: Ready position, fielding ground balls, and glove positioning. Introduce infield/outfield separation.

Week 3 – Lower Half Power & Quick Hands

Offense: Incorporate legs and hips into the swing for more power; timing and load drills.

Defense: Quick transfers, throwing on the move, and basic double-play feeds.

Defense: Situational defense (where to throw, cutoffs, communication).

Week 5 – Base Running & Defensive Reactions
