About this listen

Every hitter has two versions — the one he works on in the cage, and the one that shows up under the lights. The Inner Hitter™ trains the second.


Hosted by Jason Panaro (“JP”), creator of The Inner Hitter™, The Zen Hitter Podcast returns to introduce the first performance system in baseball to directly train response speed, early pitch recognition, decision clarity, pressure control, and in-box stability — the abilities that actually determine who a hitter becomes when they step to the plate.


Forged through years of work with MLB hitters, The Inner Hitter™ fuses neuro-performance, somatics, vision science, and modern hitting psychology into a unified system that trains players to access the most capable version of themselves when it matters most.


Calm body. Clear mind. Capable hitter.™


A new era of hitting development begins here.


Welcome to The Zen Hitter Podcast.

  • SANDBOX VS WARZONE
    Jan 31 2026

    In this episode, Jason “JP” Panaro breaks down one of the biggest hidden factors in a hitter’s development: the environment they’re playing in.

    He contrasts the “warzone” most modern players live in — pressure, identity load, and constant judgment — with the “sandbox” that actually lets hitters grow, adapt, and express their talent.

    This is about the field you create around a hitter — as a coach, a parent, or a player — and how that unseen space can either crush joy or unlock performance.

    This is a heart-level look at what we’re really doing to hitters, and what The Inner Hitter™ is trying to give back.

  • TRUE TIMING PART 2 (THE FULL LOOP)
    Jan 23 2026

    In this follow-up to “True Timing & The Millisecond Thieves,” JP breaks down the full timing loop behind every swing: rhythm phase, read phase, and response phase. It's a behind-the-curtain glimpse into the game's most elusive element.

    He explains why a biomechanically engineered swing and elite metrics don’t matter if the “hitting engine” that runs your timing is corrupted. And he shows you how your nervous system can be the difference between catching a barrel and getting blown up.

  • TRUE TIMING (AND THE MILLISECOND THIEVES)
    Jan 9 2026

    In this episode, Jason "JP" Panaro breaks down what “true timing” really means in today's game — and how tiny, invisible leaks in your system (what he calls "millisecond thieves") steal your swing before you even move.

    This isn’t about mastering a mental skill or perfecting mechanics; it’s about protecting the tiny slice of time where your brain, body, and the ball have to meet.

    If you want to truly understand where game-speed timing is born… this one’s for you.
