Quick Take
Most players don’t need a new bat. They need a better swing. Swing Shop is the first ever platform designed for coaches to bring their players and players to find a coach for specific, targeted feedback on their swing.
Most players don’t need a new bat. They need a better swing.
The industry thrives on “new” alloys, louder paint jobs, and the same sales pitch year after year. The reality? Your bat isn’t broken. Your swing just isn’t finding the barrel often enough.
At Bat Digest, we’ve tested thousands of bats over the last decade. The boring truth is clear: real improvement comes from mechanics, not metal. The climb from bad → decent → good → great happens in the body, not the barrel.
What Baseball’s Been Missing
That’s why we built Swing Shop — the first scalable, affordable way to connect hitters with real feedback from real players and coaches.
- Coaches finally have a platform to analyze swings when it makes sense for them.
- Players finally get actionable insight on what makes them better — not what makes Big Bat richer.
- Families finally get guidance that isn’t locked behind pro-level budgets.
And here’s the thing: hitting isn’t rocket science. For most players, one cue, one drill, or one adjustment is enough to start barreling balls. Swing Shop connects you with the right coach who can spot that fix fast.
Who’s in the Box?
Our coaching pool is stacked with JUCO and D1 players — people who were grinding in the box yesterday. Instead of swiping their phone in their dorm rooms on a Tuesday night, they are more than happy to make a couple bucks giving you real feedback on your swing. They know what it takes, and they know how to explain it.
We also want coaches around the country to use this platform to help their players as well as expand their reach.
Players get weekly, targeted feedback.
Coaches sharpen their own baseball minds and get compensated.
Everyone wins.
Upload your swing. Get one clear adjustment with annotated video feedback and drills. Simple. Affordable. Effective.

Will BatDigest Keep Reviewing Bats?
Of course. We will always review bats. Our reviews and best pages will continue to be center pieces in the bat world. But SwingShop is our honest attempt to make sure that players are given every chance to be successfull at the plate and the keys to that success will always be found in the body, not the bat.
