Hitting - Exit Velocity:
Trent, your quick hands are a significant asset in your hitting mechanics. This quickness allows you to react swiftly to pitches and make last-second adjustments, which is crucial for success at higher levels of play. Your ability to generate bat speed through hand quickness is commendable and provides a solid foundation for your hitting approach.
However, to fully capitalize on your quick hands and potentially increase your exit velocity, focusing on improving your extension through contact is essential. Better extension will allow you to maintain bat speed through the hitting zone, resulting in more consistent hard contact and potentially higher exit velocities. To achieve this, work on keeping your hands inside the ball and driving through the point of contact, rather than pulling off early.
To improve your extension, consider incorporating drills such as the 'bottom hand tee drill' or using a hitting stick to practice maintaining extension after contact. Additionally, video analysis of your swing can help you visualize and understand where you might be cutting your swing short. Remember, combining your quick hands with improved extension can significantly enhance your ability to drive the ball with power to all fields, making you a more formidable hitter. Keep working hard, Trent, and you'll see improvements in your exit velocity and overall hitting performance.

Pitching - Changeup Evaluation:
Trent, your changeup shows promising potential, particularly in terms of control. Your ability to consistently locate this pitch within the strike zone is a valuable asset that sets a strong foundation for your pitching repertoire. This level of control at your age is commendable and suggests a good feel for the pitch. Maintaining this accuracy while continuing to refine other aspects of your changeup will make it an even more effective weapon in your arsenal.
While your control is impressive, there's room for improvement in your release. Focusing on your release point and arm action will help you better disguise your changeup, making it more deceptive to hitters. Work on maintaining the same arm speed and release point as your fastball to create more confusion for batters. Additionally, experimenting with different grips and pressure points on the ball may help you find the optimal release that maximizes movement and velocity separation from your fastball.
Your current changeup velocity of 65 MPH is solid, but continue to monitor the speed difference between your fastball and changeup. Ideally, you want a 8-12 MPH difference to keep hitters off balance. As you grow and develop, focus on maintaining this velocity gap while potentially increasing overall pitch speed. Remember, the effectiveness of a changeup lies not just in its velocity, but in how it plays off your other pitches. Keep working on your release and arm action, and you'll see improvements in both the quality and consistency of your changeup, making it a true out pitch in your repertoire.

Your natural arm speed is evident, allowing you to generate good velocity on your pitches. This foundation will serve you well as you continue to develop as a pitcher. Your ability to throw with speed at 13 years old suggests a promising future on the mound.
To further enhance your fastball, it's crucial to focus on developing a more powerful leg drive. By incorporating your lower body more effectively in your pitching motion, you can potentially increase your velocity and improve your overall pitching efficiency. Work on exercises that strengthen your leg muscles and practice drills that emphasize pushing off the mound with greater force. This will not only add speed to your fastball but also help maintain your arm health over time by reducing the strain on your upper body.
As you continue to refine your pitching mechanics, pay close attention to your lower half engagement throughout your delivery. Practice maintaining a strong base and driving forcefully towards home plate. This improved leg drive will also contribute to better balance and control, potentially enhancing your command of the strike zone. Remember, consistency in your mechanics is key, so focus on repeating this improved motion in your practice sessions and bullpen work. With dedicated effort in this area, you have the potential to significantly boost your fastball performance and overall pitching effectiveness.

Evaluation for Trent Lipsett - Speed (Home to 1st w/swing):
Trent, your speed from home to first base after a swing is an essential component of your overall offensive game. Your current performance indicates that there's room for improvement in getting out of the batter's box more quickly. A faster start can make a significant difference in beating out close plays at first base and potentially turning outs into hits.
To enhance your speed to first base, focus on developing a more efficient transition from your swing to your running motion. Practice your footwork immediately after contact, ensuring that you're pushing off the back foot and driving towards first base without any wasted motion. Additionally, work on maintaining a low center of gravity as you exit the batter's box, which will help you accelerate more quickly.
Incorporating specific drills into your training routine can help improve your quickness out of the box. Try practicing quick-start drills from a batting stance, focusing on explosive first steps. Also, consider working with a speed coach to refine your running technique and improve your overall sprint speed. Remember, even small improvements in your home-to-first time can make a big difference in your offensive production and put additional pressure on the defense.
