If you’re a pitcher and lack lower body power or repeatability with your mechanics it’s going to be a difficult road for you as you work to advance your career. When it comes to successful pitchers you really want to see three things:
1. The ability to create maximum power with minimum effort
2. Repeatable Mechanics
3. Knowing where the ball is going
We know that there’s a lot of lower body involvement when throwing, especially rotation of the hips. Proper hip rotation allows an athlete to maintain better alignment and direction during the throwing motion which will set him or her up for having better pelvic and trunk rotation, leading to an improved ability to generate torque and increase velocity and consistency.
As a baseball athlete your strength and conditioning program needs to be structured differently from other field sports like football, basketball, and soccer. This is because of the overhead and rotational demands baseball poses for your body. In our free ebook below we’ll go over the four key components you need to address in your baseball off-season strength and conditioning program to maximize your development during the fall and winter months, as well as assessments you can do to ensure your body is prepared to handle the demands of throwing throughout the season.
In today’s post CDSF coaches Mike Sirani and Dan Jones discuss and show you four different exercises that train front hip loading for baseball athletes.
