Why VPLAZ.HITS
Exists.

I built the Body Awareness Hitting System Standard because I was that hitter: stuck, frustrated, taking random cues, and trying to fix everything alone. If you're stuck, you don't need louder coaching. You need to understand what your body is doing, what your swing should feel like, and how to make adjustments when the game speeds up.

Baseball has been part of my life since I was 3 years old. I played at the junior college, NAIA, and Division II levels, then played Indy Ball in the CBL. The journey forced me to constantly adapt, rebuild myself, and learn the deeper side of hitting beyond just mechanics.

When I lost my dad at 16, everything changed. I had to figure out baseball, life, and myself on my own. I became obsessed with improving, more swings, more reps, more trial and error. Over time I realized something: most hitters don't struggle because they aren't working hard enough. They struggle because they don't understand what their body is doing.

That's why I coach the way I do today. No random drills, no copy paste instruction. Hitters improve faster when they understand their movement patterns, learn what to feel, receive honest feedback, and build confidence through structure and awareness. Beyond baseball, I want the lessons athletes learn here, discipline, awareness, accountability, resilience, to translate far beyond the batter's box. VPLAZ.HITS was built to help athletes stop guessing, build real confidence, and develop swings that actually transfer into games and life.

Baseball has been part of my life since childhood. At 15 I decided to pursue the game full time, which led to opportunities at both the Junior College and NCAA Division I levels in the USA. In 2021 I signed my first professional contract with the Philadelphia Phillies, where I spent three years before joining the Quebec Capitales.

Once I began my professional career, I quickly realized that every player had once been the best on their team. That opened my eyes to the importance of the mental game and a holistic approach to athlete development. Through my own experiences with performance anxiety, self doubt, and failure, I understood I wasn't mentally equipped with the tools needed to perform at my best.

I help athletes connect with the performer behind their performance and build tools to handle adversity while fostering an authentic version of themselves on the field. In session work can include emotion and arousal regulation, breathwork, acceptance, cognitive defusion, goal setting, and deliberate practice.

"Most hitters don't struggle because they're lazy. They struggle because they don't understand what their body is doing."
V. Plaz · Founder
Philosophy

What The BAHS Standard Is Built On.

01

Awareness before adjustment.

If you don't understand what your body is doing, you can't make real adjustments consistently.

02

Structure beats random work.

Hitters need structure, feedback, and honest guidance, not more random reps.

03

Game transfer matters most.

A swing that only works in the cage isn't enough. The goal is repeatable performance in games.
