Training High School Baseball Players

Being Co-owner of High School Strength and Speed is just one of my businesses. I also own Pro Performance. Pro Performance is a personal and sports performance training facility in Rome, GA. We train the general population, elementary school age kids, middle and high school athletes, college and pro athletes and tactical athletes. This article is going to focus on high school baseball players. Before I start, allow me to share with you how we set up our training schedule. We train Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 6:15 AM. Monday is a total body day with upper body focus, Wednesday is also a total body day with a lower body focus and Friday is a plyometric/movement day plus work capacity.

I’m going to write a series of articles on training baseball players. Today I’ll discuss some of our athletes and the progress they’ve made. First of all, the baseball players we’re training at this time range from freshman to juniors. They play a variety of positions. These guys are above average athletes with a couple of them being very good athletes. Over the past 3 months, as a group, we have had steady lean muscle mass gains of 3-7 lbs., vertical jump has increases 3-5 inches, there upper body strength has increased and pull up rep maxes have increased. There core strength has increased as well. For our baseball group, we focus on lower body strength and power to improve speed, rotational core strength, upper body strength, shoulder prehab, work capacity and flexibility. I can see a measurable difference in their body composition as well. I’m looking forward to watching these guys play this year. Next week I’ll get into the specifics of their program. Until then, remember, NO EXCUSES! JUST RESULTS! Train hard and smart and God Bless!
