The Seattle Mariners have switched from a generic strength and conditioning program to a &#8220;high-tech&#8221; advanced program by Dr. Marcus Elliot. Many articles on the switch have talked about the lack of weights in the weight room and the emphasis on plyometric/movement training, leading many to believe that weights were completely left out of the [...]]]></description>

Kevin Agee of The Standard at Missouri State University asks the question: &#8220;How would you handle the responsibility of owning what could be a multimillion-dollar investment in the future?&#8221;
Kevin interviewed Eric Cressey, the MSU coaches, the MSU pitchers, and me about college pitch counts and training collegiate pitchers in general. What follows is a well-written [...]]]></description>

Strength and conditioning is tough enough in the offseason, but once you have to focus on practices, bullpens, batting cage time, skill development, and playing games, training for strength and speed becomes nearly impossible! I&#8217;m a huge supporter of youth athletes picking up multiple sports in their early years of high school &#8211; by all [...]]]></description>

Just wanted to drop a short post in about loading rate as it relates to the humerus and possibly the connective tissue in the pitching arm during the throwing motion.
In Humeral Torque in Professional Baseball Pitchers, Sabick et al. concluded that &#8220;pitchers who elbows were more extended at stride foot contact tended to have lower peak [...]]]></description>

(Alternate title: Why running long distances is a bad idea for baseball pitchers.)
As high school tryouts commence and spring training games begin, pitchers all over the nation are running poles after they throw their long toss or their bullpens. Coaches are making their kids run 30 minutes at the end of tryouts just to gauge [...]]]></description>

In an excellent (and controversial) post about Crossfit for baseball athletes, Eric Cressey talked about why Crossfit&#8217;s Workout of the Day is a poor way to train for baseball for many reasons. One such reason was:

Another great video by Eric Cressey about pressing for overhead throwing athletes &#8211; this time, he focuses on overhead pressing. Short and to the point &#8211; definitely check it out.

I&#8217;ve wanted a weight sled for some time now, but couldn&#8217;t pull the trigger on the expensive ones available on the Internet. The shipping cost is just way too prohibitive. I&#8217;ve also wanted some plate holders that snap directly into my power cage, but NY Barbell was sold out of them and would be for [...]]]></description>

Another excellent article by Eric Cressey is available here: Should Pitchers Bench Press?

Our baseball athletes undergo a rigorous offseason workout schedule that incorporates a ton of heavy weight lifting &#8211; mostly done with barbells, but we use dumbbells for single-arm exercises (rows) and pressing (bench press with the neutral grip and the occasional push press) as well. Most of the athletes that I get come into the [...]]]></description>
