What we train
- Rotational power: medicine-ball throws, strength work and core training.
- Speed: starts and sprint mechanics for the bases and the field.
- Arm care: shoulder and upper-back strength and mobility.
- Mobility: hips and upper back, for good hitting and throwing positions.
- By position: lower-body strength and arm care for pitchers, leg endurance and hip mobility for catchers, and first-step quickness for infielders.
Why it helps
- Bat speed and throwing velocity depend on how well the lower body and trunk produce and transfer force.
- Shoulder and upper-back work supports healthy throwing; for young pitchers, following age-based pitch count and rest guidelines like MLB and USA Baseball's Pitch Smart is just as important.
- We maintain strength in season and build strength and power in the off-season.
How it works
Every high school and college athlete starts with an evaluation of their individual strengths and weaknesses. Group sessions run 80 minutes: 40 minutes of strength work and 40 minutes of speed and conditioning on our 6,000 sq ft indoor turf at 180 Bloomfield Ave, Floor 3, in Montclair. We recommend two to four sessions a week, depending on whether an athlete is in or out of season. Younger baseball players build the base in our Youth and Junior High programs, and older players train in High School + College. Want one-on-one coaching or a session for a whole team?
