Building the Complete Hitter
From Travel Ball to the Big Leagues
Give your hitting work a plan from the practice cage to the batter’s box.
Becoming a complete hitter takes more than a good swing. It takes preparation, pitch selection, an approach, and the ability to execute when the game demands it.
Dirt Bro’s Building the Complete Hitter brings those pieces together in an interactive video guide for players, parents, and coaches. Learn the purpose behind each drill, develop more intentional practice habits, and build a routine that fits your stage of development.
Featuring Contributions from Atlanta Braves Hitting Coach Tim Hyers
Learn from instruction contributed by Tim Hyers, Atlanta Braves hitting coach and two-time World Series champion, who won championships as hitting coach with the 2018 Boston Red Sox and 2023 Texas Rangers.
Tim and Trent Mongero previously collaborated on the Winning Baseball books and instructional DVDs, along with Talk Hitting with Tim. This product brings together their teaching, hitting principles, and drills to help players understand what each drill teaches.

Kiley M –
This is truly an amazing baseball hitting digital training course. Coach Mongero’s hitting videos and step by step walktrhoughs make it very simple and clear on the drills and skills I need to dive deeper on to improve my hitting skills on the field. I would highly recommend this baseball training for anyone looking to improve their baseball (or even softball) hitting skills.
