#39 - Jason Ochart - Learning about speed from baseball

Author: Mike Carroll December 29, 2022 Duration: 1:30:06

Jason Ochart is the guest in this episode. Jason has an extensive background working in baseball, specifically trying to help hitters increase their swing speed. He works for Driveline, a baseball performance training organisation taking the baseball world by storm, and was recently hired by the Boston Red Sox to be their director of hitting and program design.

I was very curious to Pick Jason’s brain about the assessment and training of baseball hitters trying to increase swing and see if there was things we could transfer to golf.

Jason brought a wealth of information and I hope you enjoy learning from him as much as I did.
