Want to play baseball at a higher level?


MLB players are (on average) the fastest and strongest baseball players in the world.






Kees Yashko is one of the strongest athletes I have had the pleasure of working with. He does powerlifting with his older brother and works relentlessly to improve. He is one of the top rated prospects in his class. Here he is hitting a ball 96 mph off a tee with a wood ball at 14 years old






Here is a rough general program you can use to improve your performance. Taylor this program to your individual goals.


Track how fast you hit

30 max effort hits per day. Listen to your body and adjust accordingly.


Track how fast you throw

30 max effort throws every other day. Throwing does have some injury risk. Listen to your body and adjust accordingly. Do not throw with pain ever.


Track how fast you run

10 max effort sprints every other day. Listen to your body and adjust accordingly


Bonus, Track how high you jump

5x5 max effort jumps per day. Listen to your body and adjust accordingly.


Reminder, online training available at hitterish.com/online-baseball-lessons





Get stronger

Use resistance to train the push, pull, lunge, squat and twist.


Track your trap bar deadlift

3x5 every other day.


You must adjust your daily and weekly volumes to reflect your workload. You will have to play games when you are sore, that's part of the deal.


A study by Newton et al. (2006) published in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research demonstrated that resistance training improved peak power output and speed in athletes, which can directly translate to enhanced bat speed and hitting power in baseball players.


A study by McFarland et al. (2013) in the American Journal of Sports Medicine found that pitchers who engaged in strength training had significant improvements in their throwing velocity.


A study published by Hoffman et al. (2003) in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research showed that increased lower body strength is associated with improved sprinting speed and agility in athletes.


A study by Faigenbaum et al. (2009) in Sports Medicine highlighted that strength training can reduce the risk of injury by enhancing muscular balance and joint stability.



Diet

1g of protein per lb of body weight per day


Steak

Eggs

Rice

Potatoes

Protein Shakes


on repeat.




Ready. GO

FNF is a fun, competitive rhythm game. It not only challenges your hands but also ignites the hidden passion within you to master musical rhythms.

MBBS in Europe is frequently discussed among students considering international medical education. A common point of focus is MBBS in Europe fees, which vary across universities and countries, influencing financial planning. For many aspirants, especially those from India, understanding MBBS in Europe for Indian students is essential, including eligibility, admission requirements, and licensing procedures. Professional discussions generally emphasize curriculum, clinical exposure, and degree recognition rather than promotional content.
