Mitch Piatnik
Hittin, Speed & Agility Coach
Personal Experience
Mitch Piatnik spent years searching for the keys to better hitting, learning from his father with pro experience, college coaches, and many instructors throughout his career. In 2023 he began working with a new hitting consultant whose drills finally gave him the control and confidence he had been seeking, confirmed when he returned to live pitching in 2025 and immediately made hard contact. After seeing the same approach greatly improve his clients’ results, and discovering fellow coach Wilfredo Rodriguez had reached the same philosophy, he committed to teaching these mechanics to others.
Speed WOrk Experience
I was always an above-average runner and worked to maximize my best tool by studying the body and adjusting my training to become faster. My biggest breakthrough came when I trained with a Team USA Olympic sprint coach who taught me specific drills and proper running mechanics. With those techniques, my times improved dramatically, including 6.0–6.15 in the 60-yard dash, 4.2–4.3 in the 40-yard dash, and sub-10 seconds in the 100 meters.
