At a college baseball game today—these guys are built. Strength, speed, and power are prerequisites. If you’re a high school player not in the weight room consistently, you’re already playing catch-up. The game is evolving. Train accordingly.

In-Season Training: Exercise Selection Proper programming in-season is critically important to keep on-field outputs high and soreness/fatigue non-existent. Here’s 3 things to keep in mind when programming exercises this season: 1. Limit Eccentric Stress: Focus on exercises with low eccentric stress in-season. The lowering phase causes the most muscle soreness and fatigue. 2. Move The Scaps: Select exercises that allow free scapular motion and encourage upward rotation. This helps maintain optimal shoulder health throughout the season. 3. Choose Familiar Exercises: Constantly switching exercises in-season introduces new stressors, causing muscle soreness and fatigue that can impair on-field performance.
