Programs

Pitcher's Training

Pitchers will go through a progressive throwing program that will help build strength, better development of their pitches, and the capability of "commanding" their fastball. Pitchers will learn that it is not about how hard you throw, but the ability of having complete command of their fastball, and consistancy of off-speed pitches. The program will also emphasize proper warm-ups for both starting and relief pitching, giving them a personalized routine for their season.

Pitchers will be put through a combination of strength training programs. The Crossover Symmetry Program will focus on the shoulder and back and is used by some of the most popular division 1 and MLB organizations for the development of arm strength and stability. Other training methods will consist of core and leg techniques to help increase lower body power.

Pitching strategy will be a main focus throughout the program. This will consist of how to approach a hitter and base-runner. They will learn and work on pick-offs, holding runners (all bases) and fielding their position. Also discussed, will be the advantages of note taking and its benefits in guiding the pitcher in their approach to handeling hitters.

Hitter's Training

Hitter's will learn fundamental techniques that will improve the overall impact of their swing. This will consist of increasing power potential through proper balance and weight transfering, and improving contact with the use of correct head and hand positioning.

Each hitter will go through various hitting drills designed to help develop correct swing memory and consistancy. Exercises such as single handed swinging will break down the swing into manageable pieces allowing each movement to be reviewed and adjusted. Plate discipline will also be obtained with the use of tee drills. This along with the soft toss, will work on different pitch locations and hitting zones for different counts. The hitter will improve their overall use of the strike zone and get a feel for which pitches feel most comfortable with both overhand toss and regular batting practice.

Hitters will learn their role and the onbective of each play through hitting strategies. Pitching visualization techniques will increase the hitters effectiveness to read the pitcher's arsenal before its thrown. They will come to understand Situal Hitting, how to dictate these tactics and aquire the ability to properly execute them.
