Stretch to Win

This is our "Stretch to Win" version for the gluteals and hip rotators.. These muscles tend become overactive during the course of season expecially in our middle infielders due to stress and nature of the position. Its imperative for optimal performance to maintain a happy state between strength and flexibility among the muscles attached to the pelvis. This is a routine a perform on guys at least five times a day.

Clip of Ian Snell's(RHP) Jump Rope Workout

This is a workout the day after he starts.. I like to incorporate Jump Rope drills for him for reactive strength/agility/ and proprioception. He's an athletic, power pitcher so its imperative to train according to his performance strengths and in the proper energy system. This also aids in recovery by helping rid the body of waste products produce from pitching 5 innings. Check it out!
