Read what the baseball world is saying . . .

"I have never known a better hitting coach than Dave Hudgens. His program has kept me at the top of my game ever since I signed with the A's."
Eric Chavez, Oakland A's

"Dave's program helped me create muscle memory at the plate and let my reactions take over."
Luis Gonzalez, Arizona Diamondbacks

"In the 26 years that I have been involved in professional baseball, this program is superior to any that I have ever seen"
Dave McKay, St. Louis Cardinals

"I found the Hitting for Excellence Program and started using it. In the year of 2001 we ran through our league like an offensive juggernaut. In an East Coast Tournament not only did we win, we outscored our opponents 75-7. Thanks to this hitting program we were also able to pitch to our opponents based upon how we saw their players approach hitting."
Dan Stewart, Baltimore
