There’s no “one size fits all” approach to apply to all hitters. Even at the highest level an outcome (wOBA), good or bad, can be reached through different approaches. With that said, there are clear trends that still hold true. A higher bat speed opens the door to a multitude of different approaches. With lower bat speed, the options are significantly lower and the margin for error is incredibly small.
These cluster trends reinforce the importance of individualized, data-driven training programs in hitting development. By identifying hitter profiles we can detail specific needs, ranging from bat speed, to bat to ball skills, to approach at all levels of the game.
