Ninja Sports Performance seeks to help families find the “IT” in every player. We do not subscribe to the “freak” theory – that one must be born with talent or “IT”. We believe everyone can become more than they are today if the desire is great enough.

“If the WHY is big enough,

the HOW becomes obvious.”

Ninja Sports Performance is a baseball/softball training facility located in Mount Washington, KY targeting the “invested” player. The “invested” player is one who seeks to gain a competitive edge through increased training. “Invested” does not imply only elite or high skill players, rather invested means those who fully invest themselves into getting better. Ninja Sports Performance caters to the “invested” player by providing high level elite training and access to high quality instruction and advanced training concepts. While the facility will be open to anyone, the only discriminating factor will be the desire to work hard and improve. The concept believes that anyone can perform at a high level regardless of physical talent if the desire is great.

Parents are looking to give their children an advantage over other children in organized sports activities.  Team coaching is simply not enough to give children the proper skills required to play at an above average level in baseball and softball.  Private coaches and skill trainers are fully booked by eager parents looking for one-on-one training for their child.  “Select” baseball and softball leagues are increasing in popularity and advanced skills training is an absolute requirement for participants in these activities.  This indoor facility will cater to the increasing need for skills training on a year-round basis.

Ninja Sports Performance is not competing against traditional coaches and instructors. The concept seeks to compliment the wide array of instruction and support efforts of coaches and parents seeking to give their players a competitive edge. Assessments, objective measurement, and a focus on physical and mental preparation will provide a solid foundation upon which coaches and instructors can build quality players.

“If you want to Improve something,

Measure it!”

We believe better practice yields better performance. Better inputs equate to better outputs. Ninja Sports Performance believes that anyone can achieve at the highest levels if the desire and work ethic are there. Assessment and objective measurement will serve as the basis for evaluating our preparation. The focus will be on the process versus outcomes. Families want to get the best bang for their buck when it comes to training. Objective measurement will also help families make informed decisions on the efficacy of instruction and preparation.

Ninja Sports Performance seeks to bring cutting edge solutions to BB/SB players. We seek out, research and bring to market the best solutions to help players improve. Ninja Sports Performance consistently re-evaluates solutions to ensure continuous improvements. We are different due to the array of services we provide. The integration of new thinking, equipment and approach differentiates us from other facilities.

If you want to improve something, MEASURE IT! Objective measurement is a cornerstone of what we do at Ninja Sports Performance. Testing not only provides valuable feedback on player development, but also lets players and families see where they stand compared to their peers. Once a baseline is established, players will naturally compete, first against their peers, but eventually against themselves. In the process they learn critical skills that will help them not only in their sports career but long after as well.

Why Test?
Plain and simple. We test to get a sense of where we stand in relation to the best. Once we know where we stand we can create a plan to improve and reach our goals. Now baseball and softball players can find out exactly where they stack up by going online and checking out our trademarked Leaderboards: The Prestigious National Board, State Boards and even County Leaderboards. Check out the Leaderboards here (click on Leaderboards tab at the top of the page).

We know you are working hard on your game. How much more focus would you bring to your training if you knew that only a 3 MPH improvement was keeping you off of the US Leaderboard?

As professional trainers, we believe training should be all about player development. In short – helping athletes come as close to their full potential as possible. Do you know what your MAX is? Unless you test and train you will never really know.

Knowledge is Power.

Once you’ve been tested you’ll be able to view the video clip of your swing or throw and your other measurements in your online locker. You will also be able to view the Leader boards to see how you stack up against your peers in the county, state and country. If you qualify, you will be placed on the Leader board.

TEST DESCRIPTIONS
Tee Exit Speed – The test will consist of 10 swings off of a tee with the player’s own bat. Each swing will be videotaped and the exit speed will be captured with the Stalker Pro-II radar gun. The highest exit speed recorded will be saved and sent to the tester’s video locker for viewing and archiving.

Positional Arm Speed – The test will consist of 10 throws from your designated position (catcher will start from a squat, for example). Each throw will be videotaped and the velocity will be captured with the Stalker Pro-II radar gun. The highest velocity throw recorded will be saved and sent to the tester’s video locker for viewing and archiving.

Fastball Speed – The test will consist of 10 throws off of the mound. Each throw will be videotaped and the velocity will be captured with the Stalker Pro-II radar gun. The highest velocity pitch recorded will be saved and sent to the tester’s video locker for viewing and archiving.

Additional Tests (Line Drive Consistency, Fastball Command, etc.) will be coming soon!

Contact us today for more information or to setup a test.

Testimonials

“It greatly helped me to prepare for this past season as it could simulate game-like conditions. I can’t get that from regular BP. It was tremendous for situational hitting; placing myself in a 2- 2 count against Clemens and then elevating a fastball or throwing a split.”

Trot Nixon – Outfielder Boston Red Sox

“We had the most success we ever had in the Florida Instructional league this fall with using the machine to teach our young hitters an approach to hitting a breaking pitch and the art of bunting for base hits. It was a huge help to our program.”

Johnny Goryl – Assistant Director of Player Development for Cleveland Indians

“This is great for pitch recognition. We have been feeding our guys a heavy dose of breaking balls wit the ProBatter system.”

Lou Frazier– ex-coach

– Columbus Red Stixx

(Atlantic League)

“The ProBatter has been great for my timing. I’ve been locked in ever since I started using it. It was definitely a factor in my being named Player of the Week.”

Scott Pratt – Akron Aeros

(Eastern League) Eastern player of the week – June 2002

“I love this machine”

David Engle

– Ex-Hitting Coach New York Mets

“The ProBatter system gives hitters more game-like pitches in a fifteen-minute workout training session than in a week’s worth of games.”

Bill Bavasi, ex – Director of Player Dev.,

LA Dodgers.

“The ProBatter is a difference maker. Working with ProBatter Sports has been a very positive experience.”

Ken Williams – General Manager

Chicago White Sox

“The ProBatter machine affords hitters an opportunity to practice the game at full speed against Major League quality pitching and, unlike traditional pitching machines, to time the pitcher’s delivery. The ProBatter machine is an important part of our hitting development program.”

Ben Cherington – Director Of Player Development Boston Red Sox

“We aim to provide every player who trains with us the very best training experience and the ProBatter PX2 is certainly the best tool for hitters. As a former player, I know there is no substitute to facing live pitching for a hitter to perfect his timing and rhythm. But it has been impossible to find one who can consistently and accurately throw over 90 mph – until now. ProBatter gives our students a tremendous opportunity to improve and take their game to the next level.”

Mike Brooks, owner of

West Coast Baseball Academy

“The ProBatter system worked great. It was in constant use by our prospects. One of the biggest advantages was to help our kids recognize breaking balls. It was the next best thing to big league pitching for them. In the beginning, our kids couldn’t get near the ProBatter curve ball but after a few weeks, they were a lot more confident”

Mickey Brantley

“The ProBatter’s realism makes it the most advanced training tool ever developed for hitters at all levels.”

Rick Peterson – current pitching coach

NY Mets

“The ProBatter machine affords hitters an opportunity to practice the game at full speed against Major League quality pitching and, unlike traditional pitching machines, to time the pitcher’s delivery. The ProBatter machine is an important part of our hitting development program.”

Ben Cherington – Director of Player Development Boston Red Sox

“A lot of guys swear by it”

David Wright – New York Mets 3rd base man (Quotes in a Sporting News article)

“It’s a great machine because it throws all kinds of pitches at all kinds of speeds”

Bobby Abreau, NY Yankees

(Quoted in August-September 2007 SI Latino)

“I love it. It’s competitive and you have to compete against it to hit.”

Alex Rodriguez – New York Yankees 3rd Baseman (Quoted in a NY Post article)

I have it in my hitting cages in Vegas…(Brain) Cashman called to ask me about it and I said it was great. It gives you a look at everything and at every speed.”

Jason Giambi – New York Yankees 1st baseman (Quotes in a NY Post article)

“It does a good job simulating your timing…It’s the best thing to do..”

Bubba Crosby – New York Yankees outfielder (Quotes in a NY Post article)

Dear Pro Batter

Your machine is better than anyone could imagine. I was a 3rd round draft choice in 2005. I was a pitcher but the Braves told me I would be playing outfield now. I went to the Gulf Coast League and hit .203 there. After thorough research I decided to buy your machine and I worked with it for 4 months and went back to play. That season I moved up two levels and hit .240. Last off season I worked with your machine again. This season I hit .312 in the two levels that I played in, made my first all star team in pro ball and led all of minor league baseball with 176 total hits! I am so excited to get back to the off season so I can train with your machine. I am totally confident in telling you that your machine is helping me get to the big leagues!

Jordan Schafer – AA BRAVES PLAYER

“It’s like getting live batting practice in the off-season just like you’d get in regular BP”

Trot Nixon – Cleveland Indians
