Brandon Matthews is a professional hitting instructor in North Carolina. Brandon has over a decade of coaching experience at all levels from youth to professional baseball. In 2017, Brandon started Swing Angry LLC for baseball and softball hitting instruction. Since then, Brandon has performed thousands of lessons with youth to professional hitters. Combining playing experience and continued research, Brandon has developed unique training methods aimed at helping athletes compete physically and mentally at the highest levels of the game.
