The specificity of your training does matter. The crucial next step is making sure you understand what each component of your training should be specific to.
Just because an exercise looks like pitching doesn't mean it trains pitching. Focus on force production and velocity, not visual similarity. Your body knows the difference.
Take a peek at incoming @OregonBaseball righty @coopermarkham1 popping 95 in the lab! A few notes:
Interesting graphs. Highly applicable to golf.
Looking for more bat speed? You probably aren't physical enough. The average 70mph+ swinger we've tested is 12% heavier and 18% more explosive than those at 65mph. Get big, move fast🚀💪
Learning a new skill (or practicing one) may be able to increase your ability to hit a baseball, from smash factor to pitch decision. The simple trick? Juggling. Next month, the research findings from my latest study @DrivelineBB go live. Tune in to see the impact. ——————————…

Struggling to bridge the gap between practice and games? The answer lies in creating a more difficult practice environment that more closely represents in game context. ⚡️
Test. Train hard all summer. Retest. PR. Standard protocol.
Almost 5 years of work for Jairus. 2020-21 offseason (66.4➡️69.2 below) earned pro contract #1, and goals have only grown since. Multiple All-Star nods and SB records later, he's the ultimate example of taking your career into your own hands and executing long-term development
SUMMER CLASSIC BOUND 👏 👏 👏 Elvis Peralta and Jairus Richards have been voted in as All-Stars for the American Association Summer Classic game on July 22nd in Fargo! Peralta and Richards have been dominating the league this year, with both ranking high in batting averages,…
Long-term development🧵 This offseason, our main focus was on cleaning up Jairus's bat path, specifically his direction Goal was to open up his ability to drive the ball the other way while maintaining his '22-'23 levels of pull-side damage Bat path from 10/24 vs 5/25

One of the most athletic moves I’ve seen on a baseball field. Also a great visual reminder for hitters— your core work needs way more intensity than deadbugs and pallof presses can give you.
Harper HR. Adjusted up, lol.
What a difference a few days in the spot makes. Stop by Tampa Driveline for your fix.
All star break is just another opportunity to get ahead of dominating the second half. The pros are back in the gym, moving fast and training smart.
You saw the record-breaking exit velocities at the combine, now take a look at the work that creates that power 💪 big things ahead for the @Marlins newest slugger @BrandonCompton_!
