Unlock the full story behind how the University of Maryland develops elite power hitters in this in-depth conversation with Assistant Coach Tommy Gardiner. Coach Gardiner breaks down the Terps’ hitting philosophy, the science behind player development, and the systems that consistently produce high-level offensive performers.

In this interview, we explore:

🔥 Motor Preference–Driven Training — How Maryland individualizes hitter development based on each athlete’s natural movement tendencies.

🔥 Training Environments — The intentional environments the Terps create to challenge decision-making, barrel awareness, timing, and adjustability.

🔥 Movement Prep — How Maryland blends movement quality and athletic prep into every session to set hitters up for success.

🔥 Daily Hitter Development — Progressions, drills, and constraints that build repeatable, game-ready power.

Whether you’re a coach, player, or fan of elite player development, this breakdown offers a rare look inside how a top Division I program shapes hitters who can do real damage at the plate.
