Want to steal more bases? STOP using the crossover step & START using a drop step! The crossover step is slower, it starts the athlete in a horrible position for acceleration, and takes away from the athletes natural athleticism.

Loaded Lateral Bear Crawls W/ Hank Rippy ✔️Trunk Stability ✔️Shoulder Stability ✔️Serratus Anterior Recruitment/Upward Rotation In my opinion, if you’re a baseball player, crawling variations are a must in your training. The benefits are just too hard to ignore!

3 Medball Drills for Hitters: 1. Side Scoop Toss Through Swing: Allows the athlete to get into their natural swing pattern and train rotational power closely related to the swing without hindering mechanics. 2. Step-Back Scoop Toss: Great for teaching athletes how to load and explode out of the back hip. 3. Walk-In Scoop Toss: Adds momentum to the movement which places a greater demand on the front leg deceleration while facilitating with sequencing. Important Note: Medball Weight: 2-4 LB. Preferably 2 LB. These drills and more are included in my brand new medball program for baseball players. Click the link in my bio to check it out now!

POWER IS PLANE-SPECIFIC! In other words, you’re going to develop much more sport-specific POWER by training in planes closely related to your sport. Baseball is a sport that relies heavily on being powerful, and efficient in the frontal and transverse plane. With that being said, a lot of our training focuses on developing power in these planes.

You absolutely should lift heavy in-season. Here’s why: 1. Keeps you strong and significantly decreases the likelihood of injury. 2. Powerful CNS stimulant that can greatly improve on-field performance. 3. Prevents the loss of muscle mass & strength. High reps combined with light loads will not only make you lose massive amounts of strength and muscle mass but they will also induce the most muscular soreness & fatigue. Tips for Lifting Heavy In-Season (Sets & Reps): 2x2 at 85%, 3x1 at 90%

5 Exercises to Lower Your 60-Yard Dash ⏰ 1. Hill Sprints Hill sprints will help you run in the correct form of acceleration and improve force application with each foot strike. 2. Flying Sprints Great drill for developing max-velocity with athletes. This drill teaches athlete to go faster and maintain maximal speed for a longer duration. 3. Heavy Sled Drags Heavy sled drags allow you to learn and practice acceleration mechanics at slower speeds. To perform this exercise properly you need to posses a good forward body lean, and maintain a positive shin angle. 4. Dynamic Skips Skips are one of the BEST ways to improve knee drive, dynamic ankle stability, arm drive, posture, ground contact time, and rhythm - many factors that contribute to fast and explosive athletes. 5. Max-Effort Sprints with Complete Recovery To run fast you need to do just that, run fast. Sprint intensity should be 95%+ on each sprint if you’re trying to get faster. Additionally, you need to be recovering fully following each sprint! Rest 60 sec. every 10 yards covered.

More Speed? SKIP! Skips are one of the BEST ways to improve knee drive, dynamic ankle stability, arm drive, posture, ground contact time, and rhythm - many factors that contribute to fast and explosive athletes. If you’re looking to improve sprinting speed start adding 1-2 sets of skips at the end of your warm-ups before you start your sprint work. Here’s our classic A-Series that we use with our HS, College, and Pro athletes frequently throughout the week as part of our speed training. A-Series 1-2 sets x 15 yards each A-March A-Hop 3-Hop 1-2 Pause A-Run

Baseball Players: Here’s why you should NEVER stop training once your season starts: High School Baseball Players: Across a 20-week season (high school and summer baseball), athletes training 3 days a week rack up 80 extra days of work—leaving their non-training peers in the dust. College Baseball Players: A standard college baseball season spans roughly 32 weeks. Many teams and players settle for a twice-weekly in-season training routine. Even then, that’s a minimum of 64 sessions—opportunities are either seized or squandered. Moral of the story... If you’ve stopped training, you’re making a HUGE mistake! You’re not only missing out on valuable opportunities (80–320 of them) to grow as a player, but you’re also limiting your on-field performance. In-Season Training Program: If you’re someone who’s looking for a complete 12-week training program that you can use this season to optimize your on-field performance and develop your game, click the link in my bio to grab my entire In-Season Training Program.

French Contrast Method W/ Tigers Pitcher, Aaron Hasse 1. OISO Split-Squat Pin Pull x 5 sec./side 2. Alt. Split-Squat Jumps x 2/side 3. Alt. Band-Resisted Split-Squat Jumps x 2/side 4. Alt. Band Accelerated Split-Squat Jumps x3/side Here we’re using the French Contrast Method in our peaking phase. The idea is to stimulate the high threshold motor units with a low-velocity, high-load exercise like OISO Split-Squat Pin Pull in the video. This ramps up the nervous system and activates fast twitch fibers, enabling Aaron to produce greater force in the jumps that follow. By integrating these four exercises, we can boost both peak power and endurance.
