The 478 word article examines the high points and low points of increasing bat speed hitting power for youth hitters, in the pursuit of providing a fresh perspective for the every day baseball and softball hitting enthusiasts. In very typical manner though, a certain element of the article is set to spark discontent amongst End-All-Be-All coaches.
Below is a portion of the piece, which neatly exemplifies the controversial element:
A key factor in increasing bat speed is ditching an irrational fear of not having enough playing or coaching experience. When it comes to applying human movement principles validated by science to hitting a ball, this fear is in the way of experiencing personal power - the ability to identify a hitter's swing problems, predictably fix them, and experience being recognized and respected by peers.
A spokesperson for Hitting Performance Lab, Joey Myers, says "Of course Hitting Performance Lab never sets out to intentionally upset anybody. The aim of the article is first and foremost to share an increase bat speed program that sticks to a truth seeking scientific process. It is critical, however, that the article stay dedicated to Hitting Performance Lab's true voice.

Although the "Increase Bat Speed, Power, & Exit Velocity For Youth Hitters WITHOUT Coaching or Playing Experience" article may upset coaches mistaking the amount of time spent coaching, instructing, or playing the game is what gives authority and credibility to be the end-all-be-all to teaching the swing. Duty is to the Hitting Performance Lab readers. It's more important to give unbiased truth validated by science that sets the ego aside, than to please everyone. Which is notoriously difficult to do in the coaching industry."
Although there has been no backlash as of yet, the possibility exists as the article goes against all notions of the typical 30-year coach or professional player "trust badge", barring anything less than that as an inferior authority to teach the baseball or softball swing.
Hitting Performance Lab has been a provider of in depth articles in the baseball, fastpitch, and slow-pitch softball market for over 9 years.
Hitting Performance Lab has stated the future aims for the website are to empower hitting enthusiasts of all coaching and playing depths and experiences, to apply human movement principles validated by science and inspired by the scientific method, to hitting a ball. So Hitting Performance Lab hopes any controversy will pass quickly and re-emphasizes no offense is or was intended.
