Swings Above Replacement

sWAR is a play on the hyper-analytic focus of today's game. Started by Bobby Tewksbary, the focus of this site is understanding how a hitter's swing affects performance.

1. Research & Ongoing Learning

We don't try to invent anything. We pay attention to what the best hitters do and work to understand why it works. We explore how mechanics and approach work together and how swing technique can limit a hitter's ability to perform.

2. Player Development

Through video analysis and customized training programs, we help players make swing adjustments to improve performance. There is much more to hitting than mechanics, but having good mechanics is an important piece to the puzzle.
