What do home runs, fastballs, and jaw dropping diving plays at shortstop have in common? Power. And what’s the prerequisite for power? Strength.
You don’t have to read beyond the MLB headlines to see how important strength is in the game of baseball. It seems like every week another major league player is getting busted for performance-enhancing drugs. Why? Because when you add strength to an already skilled player, you instantly get an all star. Strength magnifies skills – pitching velocity increases, bat swing increases, base path speed improves, and the power numbers at the plate jump up.
We’ve created the perfect off season workout for baseball and softball players. It focuses on 4 primary areas that every baseball and softball player should be training:
- Creating rotational power through a strong, stable core to increase pitch velocity.
- Maintaining optimal shoulder health to reduce the risk of throwing-related injuries.
- Strengthening and mobilizing the hips to increase bat swing speed creating greater power at the plate.
- Teaching optimal acceleration techniques to create greater force angles so athletes become faster on the base path and on the field.
