What Coaches and Players Are Saying

Kevin McMullan

Associate Head Coach

University of Virginia

“In my experience as a Hitting Coach for 30 years, The MillerMat is an incredible teaching/training tool.
It trains a few of the most important fundamentals to have a consistent attack on the baseball.

The MillerMat allows your player to have stride control, which is the most important foundation of a consistent repeatable view/look at the baseball. It will also allow for a more repeatable swing, which can then improve your
quality of barrel accuracy.

The MillerMat is a must have training tool for hitters in Little League up to the Major Leagues."

Mike Roberts

Associate Head Coach

"The MillerMat has become one of our most used daily development tools. It’s easy for our players to use on their own, or in a group practice setting, allowing them to receive instant feedback regarding the foundation of their swing. I highly recommend it to any coach or parent of a player that is looking to help create good swing repetitions in practice. ”

"The MillerMat has helped my hitters tremendously. I use it to correct a number of things, most importantly keeping the front side and direction through the middle.”

our story

We’re a family-owned company based in Nashville, Tennessee, on a mission to make better swings possible from the ground up.

The MillerMat was first created not in a factory—but in our garage—for our son, Miller.

When Miller was just starting out in youth baseball, we constantly reminded him to get into a proper stance, use his legs, and stop swinging with just his arms. Like so many kids, he struggled with balance, footwork, and lower-body mechanics. His feet would slide, his posture would shift, and all the cues we gave him—“stay balanced,” “use your hips,” “get in the right stance”—just weren’t sticking.

Miller is a visual learner. He needed more than instructions.
He needed something he could see and feel.

After years of trial and error—and countless versions—we finally built something that worked. The first time Miller stood on the mat, it clicked. He could see exactly where his feet needed to go. He could feel the difference between swinging with his arms versus driving from his lower half. In just a few weeks, his swing transformed.

That breakthrough led to the MillerMat—a baseball and softball swing trainer designed for visual learners, coaches, and parents who want to teach the fundamentals of hitting in a way that actually sticks.

Invented by a succesful NCAA Division I baseball player, the MillerMat is now used by coaches and athletes across the country to teach proper lower-body swing mechanics—from launch position to follow-through. It helps young players build their swing from day one, and gives older players a powerful tool to refine the basics.

Watching a player’s confidence grow as their swing improves—that’s what keeps us going.

We proudly stand behind every product. If you're not completely satisfied with your purchase, just send it back within 30 days for a full refund—no questions asked.

From our family to your field—
Thank you for trusting the MillerMat.

Frequently Asked Questions from the Diamond Sports Community

Please reach us at sales@themillermat.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

Aren't players supposed to load and stride to hit? Why is there a front foot strap on The MillerMat?

When working with a young hitter, or an advanced hitter that needs to get back to basics, you have to keep things simple. In a game, the player has to recognize the pitch, stride, get their foot down on-time, swing properly, AND maintain balance. That is A LOT going on all at once - especially when they are learning to swing.

A sound coaching approach is to:

1) First, ensure that the player can demonstrate making a mechanically sound swing without taking a stride. So many players move their feet around. Practicing swinging and keeping their feet in the same location as they started in - with the back foot turning

2) Next, and when ready, they can practice lifting their front foot and putting it right back down. The mat is light enough that a player can lift and land

3) Finally, the player can be taught to coil and make a forward move with their foot (i.e. a full stride). The strap can be removed at this point. The mat can be used to ensure that they are taking a straight step (and not stepping out). The foot markings provide this visual for them

What is the best way to use The MillerMat?

The MillerMat is an early progression tool, meaning, it is meant to work on the fundamentals of the swing BEFORE a stride is implemented. More advanced players use it to work on no-stride drills. If you have a young player, we recommend putting it down on the driveway or back yard and using it every time you are swinging with them. We start with the tee. It is good to use basic direction: "stance, swing, freeze." Do it in slow motion at first. Eventually work up to front toss. Make sure your front toss is straight and on a line (no arch!). As they progress, we work up to full batting practice. You will see that over time, the proper footwork becomes second nature to them. With our advanced players, we use the mat to stabilize the lower half WHILE we are working on bat path drills for the upper half (connection balls, resistance bans, PVC drills etc.)

What is the Warranty policy?

Customer service is at the heart of what we do. We provide a warranty on The MillerMat for manufacturer defects for 60 days from the date of purchase. If you are not completely satisfied with your MillerMat, you may return it to us within 30 days of purchase for a full refund (please pay return shipping). We offer replacement parts for purchase in the event you need them along the way.

Are there any safety precautions while using The MillerMat?

The MillerMat should be used on a flat surface. It is important not fasten the players foot into the stirrup so tightly so as to restrict motion. It should be treated as a reminder to keep contact with the ground rather than to forcefully hold it down. The mat should be rolled up after use as it could present a tripping hazard if left out. The mat should NOT be used during game situations in which a player hits and runs.

How long does shipping take?

IMPORTANT: Shipping is typically 10-14 days - from when your order is received- depending on your shipping address in proximity to Nashville, Tennessee. DUE TO POPULAR DEMAND WE ARE DEALING WITH A MASSIVE ORDER VOLUME. WE WILL FILL YOUR ORDER ON A FIRST COME FIRST SERVE BASIS AS QUICKLY AS WE CAN. WE THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR PATIENCE.

What should be used to clean The MillerMat?

The MillerMat is super durable and easy to clean. It can be sprayed down with a hose. Feel free to use soap and water if it gets really dirty.

What age group level is The MillerMat appropriate for?

Hitters of all ages and ability levels can benefit from the feedback that The MillerMat provides. The mat is one-size-fits-all. It works great for very young athletes when building a player's swing. It is also built so that it can accommodate a full grown high school, college, or professional player that needs to get back to basics. We have sold mats to Major and Minor League ballclubs. Our recommendation is to use it, consistently, to ensure that the fundamentals become engrained.
