Dec 2020
Recently we had the pleasure of having 2x NL All Star Jonathan Lucroy @jluc20 out to the facility for our assessment process. 3-D Motion Capture, @onbaseu screens, and power testing gives us the info needed to create targeted programming to help him with the direction of his training this off-season. Great dude and looking forward to working with him again.
As Coach Steve always says, “When you have an athletes physical assessment and kinematic sequence data, you can train with a scalpel and not a saw.”

Be Careful
As the competition for scholarships or spots on elite travel teams has increased significantly in the last few years, so to has the amount of misinformation on what is good, better or best for pitchers and hitters progress. The biggest example of this is in strength training and conditioning. Everyone is searching for methods and ways to increase a pitchers strength, velocity, and endurance. The problem is very few know how to actually achieve this in the safest and most correct method. Olympic style lifts, Kettle bells and even long distance running is not the answer and can impede performance and health in many negative ways. Functional or useable strength should be the goal for all pitchers, not understanding this seems to be a wide spread problem with in baseball.
" Be very careful there are a lot of so-called experts who claim they have the correct information but in my experience they do not, it can really be a big problem" --- Steve Johnson
