Does @mach1baseball training produce results? Here is same player, year over year data on Average Exit Velocity. Average increase of 6.6 mph, correlates to 50-100 pts of SLG%. This is off game velo machines, not front toss.

A plea to tournament operators--PLEASE raise your tourney fees and dump the stay to play business model. Most companies you outsource this to provide terrible customer service. Rooms are over-priced. It's an archaic process and out of step with changes in the lodging industry.

Getting questions on why we do not go to January events in FL/AZ. Looked at it several times. Seems risky for young pitchers to be on game mound in January. Also, bad investment for Midwest players, who return to 2 months of cold before competing again. Rather play in Oct.
