About Me
At Ignite Baseball, we believe that great players aren’t just born — they’re built.
Founded by former chemist-turned-hitting-coach Kurt Hewes, Ignite was created to disrupt how hitting is taught and developed. With a background in scientific modeling and data analysis, Kurt approached the swing the same way he used to analyze molecules — by looking at the structure and identifying what works, what doesn’t, and why.
What started as a passion project has grown into a performance-driven baseball and softball training company that helps athletes of all ages unlock their full potential. Our methods are rooted in biomechanics, timing, and individualized movement patterns — not cookie-cutter drills.
We train hitters with precision. We value creativity, grit, and independence. And we’re not afraid to do things differently if it means better results for our athletes.
Born in a lab. Built in the cage.
