Most kids never see the numbers behind their swing. Ours do — every session. Strike Zone is proud to be one of the only facilities in the area with 4 dedicated HitTrax cages, alongside Rapsodo tracking and high-speed video.
Camera-based hit tracking that measures exit velocity, launch angle, distance and point of impact in real time — then launches the ball through virtual MLB stadiums for games, home-run derbies and a national leaderboard.
Pitch- and swing-tracking radar for the numbers that win at the next level: pitch velocity, spin rate, movement, and swing data for both hitters and pitchers.
Frame-by-frame slow-motion breakdown of every swing and delivery. Coaches show — not just tell — exactly what to fix and reinforce what's working.

A Soddy-Daisy product drafted 47th overall by the Texas Rangers in the 1999 supplemental first round, David pitched professionally from 1999–2004. Now he brings that pro pedigree home — coaching the boys in both hitting and pitching with big-league standards and an eye for detail.
One of the most decorated players in UT Chattanooga softball history, Michelle starred at UTC from 2008–2012 as a pitcher and first baseman. She was named SoCon Freshman of the Year in 2008, SoCon Player of the Year in 2011 and 2012, and became the first softball player ever to earn SoCon Female Athlete of the Year honors. She holds UTC career records in RBIs (217) and total bases (453), and set single-season records in slugging (.846), on-base percentage (.543), and RBIs (75). After her playing career she joined the UTC coaching staff, developing multiple award-winning pitchers and guiding the Mocs to SoCon championships. Inducted into the Southern Conference Hall of Fame (2022) and the UTC Hall of Fame (2023), she continues to shape the game through coaching, broadcasting for the SEC, Southern Conference, and NFHS Network, and leadership with the Scenic City Collegiate League. A Hixson local, she brings all of that to your athlete.
A Chattanooga native and two-time state champion at The Baylor School (2003, 2006), Coty was a two-time All-State pitcher and first baseman whose 2006 team finished with a program-record 37 wins. He went on to earn All-Conference honors at Chattanooga State under legendary head coach Greg Dennis — where his 2007 team set a school record with 56 wins, captured both the conference regular season and tournament championships, and reached No. 1 in the national rankings. He finished his collegiate career at NCAA Division I UT Martin, earning Ohio Valley Conference All-Conference honors as a pitcher and leading the OVC in wins while setting the program record for wins in a single season in 2010. Following his playing career, Coty spent five seasons as an assistant and pitching coach at Chattanooga State before dedicating himself full-time to player development. He has coached travel baseball with the Tennessee Twisters and eXposure Baseball, training hundreds of athletes. More than 130 of his players have advanced to every level of collegiate baseball, with numerous athletes continuing on to professional baseball — including MLB. Known for his attention to detail and passion for developing complete athletes, Coty focuses on sound fundamentals, efficient mechanics, and the confidence that translates into long-term success on and off the field.
