Summer Schedule

@joshgessner Sprint

Don’t train like a pitcher, train like an Olympic sprinter. When I was with the Phillies throwing in the mid-90s, I thought sprinting was eyewash. I just wanted to get bigger and stronger. But here’s the thing—the key to throwing harder isn’t to get bigger or stronger. It’s to train your central nervous system to fire faster. And sprinting is one of the best tests for how well your CNS is firing. Look at Roki Sasaki, who throws 103 mph. When researchers studied him, they found he had similar characteristics to an Olympic sprinter. Or Aroldis Chapman beating Billy Hamilton in a race—when Hamilton was the fastest runner in the MLB. Or even Shohei Ohtani stealing 50 bases last year. They’re elite at throwing and sprinting because they’re so efficient at firing their CNS. So if you want to take advantage of this, here’s what you do: – 2–3x per week, incorporate sprint variations (acceleration, weighted, max effort). – Do ~10 sprints per session. – Add rate of force development, VBT, and impulse-type training into your routine. And if that sounds confusing, just comment SPRINT and I’ll send you the exact routine I’m using to throw 100 mph.

@shegone03 @notgaetti @BobFile @twuench @billdubs @SliderDominate @ROXSystem @RVGDag @WesClements22 High school kids should never play more than 2 in a day and never start before 10am but the PBR’s and PG’s don’t give a fuck. They just want their money

What are we doing folks? These are 12 year olds! Should they be playing this many games and at this time at night? #shegone @notgaetti @BobFile @twuench @billdubs @SliderDominate @ROXSystem @RVGDag @WesClements22
