Arm care is an essential part in maintaining the integrity of the upper extremity through functional stability & strengthening.

Here is SN’s 11u athlete, Anthony Massey, doing some of our 90-90 walks.

Here is a great exercise to help pitchers understand and FEEL the importance of their glove/front side.

I love this exercise because of the immediate feedback it provides.
[Pull off early & we yank the ball. Stay back to allow the hand time to get on top.]

This Blend work is to help improve:

• Linear Direction To The Plate
• Back Hip Drive
• Arm Path Efficiency

To All Starting Pitchers:

Are you guys SICK & TIRED of relievers coming in and giving up some of your runs? Doesn’t it just make you irate to see your base runners score and crush your ERA?

Well, here’s a simple solution...

STOP WALKING hitters! All 3 batters that scored, reached base by a walk. Always attack the hitters & stop giving them too much credit.

Also to note: That makes 4 straight at-bats in which the defense never moved their feet. 4 batters came to plate, 4 runs scored, took 10+ minutes, and got 0 outs. Not the best way to keep your defense on their toes and engaged.

Footwork drill for catchers. ⚾️

Proper timing of the feet allows us, as a catcher, to have better alignment & direction to the base we want to throw to.

When replacing your feet, do not step negatively! Stay low to the ground. A negative first step throws our body off-line which makes it harder for any catcher to have a strong & accurate throw.

Shoulder/arm care routine to help remain healthy! 💪🏽

Quick arm care program. Low weights and a lot of repetitions.
We are working on small muscles that need to be worked carefully & diligently.

There is no need to use heavy weights when maintaining the integrity of our scapula and posterior shoulder.

Enough with the gimmicks that don’t translate. Get with a coach that’s actually played the game. Get with a trainer that actually knows the mechanics and fundamentals. You don’t need to reinvent the wheel! Just put some air in that flat tire!

Baseball players, man...

Friday night going over film from a bullpen.

Editing & analyzing the biomechanical sequencing to help optimize the power outputs & accuracy.

Pitching is about timing. When our timing is slightly off, the result will either be a ball or a manipulated pitch that will cause undue stress on arm.
