Baseball is fun!

POV: you stopped lifting heavy and threw 98 MPH Up until I threw 95, and even in pro ball with the Phillies and Rangers, all I tried to do in the weight room was lift as heavy as I could. Now that I’m trying to throw 100 miles an hour, I’ve realized that’s not the most efficient way to train. This is something I see a lot of guys struggle with. They go to college, get bigger and stronger, but don’t throw harder. And they wonder why. The biggest reason is they’re not training rate of force development. In the pitching delivery, you only have milliseconds to produce force. If you can’t produce a high amount of force in that time, your velocity will be limited. Once I started incorporating rate of force development into my training, I began climbing into the 96, 97, 98 mile an hour range. My favorite ways to train this are overcoming isometrics, oscillatory work, explosive lifts, VBT-style training, ballistic barbell movements, and plyometrics. All of these teach you how to produce force fast, not just how much you can lift. I also created a full guide on this. If you want it, comment “guide” and I’ll send it to you.

You don't remember the teacher who gave you the easy A. You remember the one who wouldn't let you quit. Dan Hurley just described every great coach. Discipline. Accountability. Commitment. And a bond with players that the cameras never capture.🔥

Clemson baseball Erik Bakich said he reached out and thanked former South Carolina coach Paul Mainieri, who stepped down from the position on March 21. Bakich said he was an inspiration to young coaches in the sport.

The seperator in elite baseball players is the ability to handle struggle and failure. The game will test your mental toughness and ability to handle adversity more than any other sport. That is why we have to put players in difficult situations at practice consistently

Take a moment and watch this. Our cheerleaders absolutely killed it at the pep rally Friday. @theitemsports
