Working on driving the ball into the back of the net with a controlled, violent, balanced swing. Tracking exit velocity is advantageous when making swing adjustments. Tracking exit velocity is another way to challenge our hitters, allowing them to see their results instantly.

I would recommend Matt for youth pitchers. My son worked with him last year. He was able to improve his balance and core strength. With that he also provided him with a repeatable motion that let to better timing and accuracy. My son’s overall body control improved as well. As a father I would recommend Matt. As my son tells me, “He is nice and explains things so I understand them.”

“My son has been working with Matt Racinowski and Britton’s Bullpen for a couple years.  Britton’s is a top notch facility with highly qualified instructors. Matt is outstanding with the kids. My son always looks forward to instruction days.  Matt is extremely knowledgeable and relates to kids in a way that is easy for them to understand and apply.  My son’s baseball and pitching skills have considerably improved since finding this facility.  We would recommend it to anyone wanting to improve their baseball game.“

Joining us from our Boonville, IN location is Bobby Segal.

Bobby is currently the hitting coach for the Evansville Otters and former manager of Britton’s Bullpen Boonville. In the past 2.5 years at Boonville, Bobby has had the opportunity to work with well over 200 different baseball and softball players in the area over that time. Bobby’s ability to connect with players at all levels and abilities is why Boonville has been so successful. We are very fortunate to have Bobby instructing and managing here at Britton’s Bullpen Fort Branch! Check out Bobby’s Full Bio.

What will an hour of instruction consist of? Our instruction will consist of a warm up, defensive work (limited on space), and of course hitting. We do not just teach players how to swing the bat more efficiently, but more importantly we work with our players on how to hit. We try to instill a positive mental approach that players can take out to the field. The most important thing we have to offer our players is confidence. This is why we are different than most! We understand how difficult the game can be, which allows us to help our students!

We appreciate your patience as we get our feet underneath us these first few months. Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions.

Here’s what people are saying about us!

“Britton’s Bullpen has played a huge part in the development of our girls’ softball skills.  After attending a camp in December of 2016 at the Boonville location, we knew we wanted to go back.  Bobby Segal and Josh Wetzel are excellent instructors that continuously use new and different techniques to teach athletes what they need to know to get ahead in the sport.“
