Winter Pitching Program Breakdown

NOVEMBER - (No throwing - Just training)

Pitcher specific lifts. Focusing on strengthening the proper muscles and increasing range of motion in the areas that are crucial for a healthy throwing athlete. The posterior chain was a major focus every lift whether we did upper body or lower body. It’s crucial to perform variations of the four compound lifts. For example, the barbell bench press when performed incorrectly can be detrimental to the shoulder position. We avoid the barbell and stay with dumbbells to target the shoulder stabilizer muscles. The military press is replaced with a landmine press. Throwing athletes do landmine presses because of the angled bar path promoting upward scapular rotation.

Hey everybody. I hope no one lost power. That was the heaviest snow I've ever shoveled. But back to pitching metrics. I'm very excited to announce that we have a Rapsodo 2.0! For those of you who are unfamiliar, this a high technology professional training tool. It tracks RPMs, spin rate, spin efficiency, launch angle, velocity, videos and more. All of the data gets saved onto the Rapsodo data cloud. I finished both the pitching and hitting certification to use this tool properly and be able to analyze the data. Reach out to me about how to get a session using the Rapsodo!

Hey everybody! A lot of people have been asking me why everything looks full. This week is tough with a holiday and I have a wedding for one of my best friends. After this week more slots will open up for sure. Just reach out and we can discuss exactly what your son needs to prepare for next season. That being said I just want to say thank you to everyone who believes in the training and trusts me to take their son's game to the next level. I get to live my dream every day and I'm very grateful to have such a supportive team all around New Jersey.

Couple exciting updates:
