FOUNDER – NATE PALLOTTA
As the founder of Catch Barrels Hitting Academy, I bring a deep understanding of hitting developed over four years as a collegiate player at NYU, where I earned All-Region and All-Conference honors. My coaching approach is rooted in a holistic philosophy that combines natural movement profiling, swing analysis, and mental performance training. I’m certified in motor preference-based instruction, allowing me to tailor each session to how an athlete is naturally wired to move. I do not believe in one way to coach everyone, instead, I act as a problem solver that specifically helps YOU reach YOUR goals. By integrating data-driven feedback with individualized coaching, I help hitters unlock consistent power, contact quality, and confidence not only at the plate, but in life.
STEP 1
EVALUATE
All players undergo a comprehensive evaluation process including: natural movement profiling, swing video analysis, bat speed data via blast motion, mental performance analysis, and goal setting.
STEP 2
COMMUNICATE
By encouraging player reflection and feedback, and clear explanation and education of our training process, Catch Barrels fosters an open communication environment to help players learn and coaches adapt.
STEP 3
EXECUTE
After creating a plan for your individual goals, and then communicating the training structure… It is time to execute. With transformative mental performance training, and a challenging in-cage training environment, players are battle-tested and ready to perform freely in games.
Training Options
Individual or small group lessons (your choice) that run for 1 hour. Lessons include a full warm up, drill progression, and video.
Our remote training includes our same thorough evaluation and goal setting. Then, athletes will receive weekly custom drill plans, video breakdowns, mental performance conversations, and unlimited text communication for all hitting needs.
For those are able to work in-person and want the unlimited communication and all full remote resources.
Catch Barrels Hitting Academy Testimonials
“Nate introduced me to the mental side of baseball by helping me understand the importance of mindset focus and staying composed under pressure. He taught me how to approach each at bat with confidence and how to bounce back from failure.Nate has helped me build a stronger mental approach to the game. His support has made a real difference in how I handle challenges on and off the field.”
Avery Ortiz – Oklahoma State University
“Working with Nate has been one of the most valuable experiences of my baseball career. As a coach, he brings a rare combination of knowledge and passion for the game. His ability to understand how different athletes move and adjust based upon what works for each individual is second to none. Nate also has the ability to instill healthy mental habits and confidence in his athletes. I’ve had the privilege of working with Nate since high school, and while now being a professional player, I still turn to Nate for advice. I’d recommend him to any player or parent looking to take their game to the next level.”
Jimmy Brennan – Seton Hall University/NY Boulders (Frontier League)
“Nate Pallotta fundamentally reshaped how I think about hitting. I had never fully grasped the importance of the mental side of the game until I sat down with him. He introduced me to the power of structured routines – not just as habits, but as tools for confidence and sustaining consistency over the course of a demanding season. For any player serious about elevating their game, there is no one better.”
Dakota Barbet – George Washington University/ New York University/ Reggio Rays (Italian Professional League)
