Hitting Program
Train with Montclair State’s All-Time Hits Leader, Coach Craig Conway and his staff

Coach Conway brings 13 years of college coaching experience and a lifetime of hitting expertise to this one-of-a-kind Hitting Program. Designed to build powerful, consistent hitters through repetition and individualized instruction, this program focuses on teaching the right habits early—and reinforcing them with purpose.

Hitting Program Includes:

Tee Work – Develop balance, mechanics, and correct swing path
Front Flips – Improve hand-eye coordination and timing

Mirror Drills – Visual feedback to enhance body mechanics

Heavy Bag Training – Reinforce strong contact points and power

Cage Work – Live BP with instruction to handle all pitch types and locations

Hitters will be coached on a different skill each week, with tailored feedback and correction to help them grow.

Defense Program
“Defense wins championships”—and it starts with the fundamentals.

Baseball is unique: the defense controls the ball. That’s why a solid defensive foundation is essential for every young player. Our Defense Program focuses on developing complete fielders—not just catching fly balls or scooping grounders, but learning to move with balance, intent, and purpose.

Program Focus Areas:

Proper approach to the ball (infield &amp; outfield)

Mastering footwork and body mechanics

Throwing with increased velocity and carry

Repetition-based drills to build balance and control

Athletic development to enhance overall gameplay

This program doesn’t just create better defenders—it helps mold better athletes.
