Our Philosophy

We Don't Make
Swingers.
We Make Hitters.

At John Sullivan Hitting, the difference between good and great isn't raw talent — it's clarity of purpose and quality of feedback. Most facilities guess. We measure. Every rep is captured, analyzed, and added to your personal development profile.

We want every athlete to become their own best coach — understanding their mechanics, reading their own data, and making independent adjustments when it counts most: during games.

“If every day is easy and you're getting told everything you want to hear — run. This game isn't easy and your training should reflect that.”
— John Sullivan, Founder & Head Coach
Start Your Development
01

Data First

Every session captured and tracked. Your profile grows with every rep — no guessing what's working.

02

Your Style

No cookie-cutter approach. We develop your swing around your natural mechanics and strengths.

03

Compete Daily

The JSH environment breeds competition and mental toughness. Show up ready to be pushed hard.

04

Self-Coach

We teach you to adjust between sessions using Blast Motion, Krato Sports, GroupMe & OnForm.

The Process

Simple to Start.
Built to Grow.

From your first session to your best season — here's exactly what your development journey at JSH looks like.

1

Choose Your Plan

2

Train With Technology

Every session uses Rapsodo, HitTrax, Blast Motion, and OnForm in real time. Big-screen feedback every rep. Zero guessing about what's happening with your swing.

3

Tech Stack

Pro-Level Tools.
Real Results.

The same four platforms used by professional organizations — combined with expert coaching to eliminate guesswork and accelerate development faster than any traditional approach.

Ball-Flight Analytics
Rapsodo

Radar and high-speed camera technology tracks every ball from contact — exit velocity, launch angle, spin rate, and spray charts. See exactly where the ball goes and why, every single rep.

Exit VelocityLaunch AngleSpin RateSpray ChartInstant Feedback
Game Simulation
HitTrax

The gold standard in batting simulation. Tracks every ball in full flight and simulates real MLB stadiums scaled to your age — so every rep in the cage has real-game context and consequence. Big-screen TVs in every cage.

MLB Stadium ModeBall-Flight TrackingIn-Game ContextBig Screen TVs
Swing Sensor + Analysis
Blast Motion

Bat-mounted sensors with iPad integration give instant feedback on bat speed, attack angle, time to impact, and on-plane percentage. John Sullivan sits on the Blast Motion facility advisory board — one of very few nationally.

Video + Remote Coaching
OnForm

Side-by-side slow-motion video comparison for mechanics review from anywhere. Combined with Krato Sports and GroupMe, athletes self-coach between sessions — taking development beyond the cage walls and into daily practice.

Proof It Works

Athletes Talk.
Numbers Don't Lie.

Real athletes. Real results. From stolen bases to scholarship offers — this is what training at JSH actually produces.

“Both John and Nick are amazing. They really do a great job coaching my son. It's helped build his confidence and he loves working with them. Wish we could go more than we do but so glad we found them. Best in the business for sure. They make the grind fun!”

Joe Hagen
Baseball Parent — Organic post via @sullyhitting

“Amazing hitting program for our son who has been attending the past three years at The Compound with Nick P. They're extremely knowledgeable and we have seen great results. We highly recommend this program to everyone!”

Lindsey Hummel
Baseball Parent — 14U Cincinnati Area

“My 13 yr old son hits here twice a week and absolutely loves it. With the class sizes being small he gets a lot of one on one with the instructors. His swing has changed dramatically in 2 1/2 months. Can't wait to see the results on the field.”

Chuck Powers
Baseball Parent — Mason Area

“John is the guy! I live almost an hour from Mason and drove up to train with him for 3 years of high school and it was worth every penny. John has a real love for the sport and knows what he’s doing! John and his team are encouraging while keeping you discipline. Forever thankful for the confidence and encouragement he gave me as a hitter.”

Our group memberships start at 11U and 1-ON-1 Lessons start at 8U.
Sessions do not carry over to the following month. Consistent training is the foundation of development. If you know you'll miss time, talk to John in advance and we'll work with your schedule where we can.
Traditional lessons rely on a coach's eye. We rely on data. Every rep is captured by Rapsodo (ball flight), Blast Motion (swing mechanics), HitTrax (game simulation), and OnForm (video). You leave with your own data profile, video footage, and clear benchmarks — impossible with standard lessons.
No contracts. Month-to-month memberships only. We believe if we're doing our job, athletes want to keep coming back. Adjust your tier or pause based on your season schedule — just reach out to John.
Both locations are fully equipped with the same technology. JSH Mason (6961 Cintas Blvd) is our primary facility. The Compound JSH in Maineville (6451 Striker Rd) is our second location. Choose based on what's most convenient — call John to confirm scheduling at each site.
Yes — that's a core part of the JSH model. Athletes access video footage and session data through OnForm, Krato Sports, and GroupMe between visits. Building self-coaching ability outside the facility is one of the things that separates JSH athletes from everyone else.
