I got a nice surprise in my email inbox from some of my athletes on the West Coast yesterday. If you laughed at Posterized, you’ll love this.

Today marks another great blog Q&A from Matt Blake.
Q: I was quite shocked to learn that only three pitchers have ever made it to the Big Leagues from the Little League World Series (LLWS). It makes perfect sense, as the mature kid at 12 generates more velocity than little Billy. Most parents assume that since [...]

The college coach of one of our current pro baseball players was asking me about the rotator cuff program he’s doing with us now, and I figured I’d turn it into today’s topic. We take a bit of a different approach with it than you’ll see with a lot of guys in the industry, and [...]

Today, we’ve got the first in a series of Q&A contributions from Matt Blake.
Q: What do you think of Ron Johnson’s presentation at the ABCA convention where he stated that curveballs are okay for youths to throw and that they do not cause any structural damage beyond what a fastball does? Rather, it was the [...]

Programs aimed at rapid fat loss are quite the rave nowadays. There are some excellent programs out there (most notably Warpspeed Fat Loss, which we’ve discussed here quite a bit) that deliver some quick reductions in body fat over the course of a few weeks of absolutely hellish training and strict nutritional modifications. There’s no [...]

Q: I was wondering the other day about why guys often come back from Tommy John surgery pitching better and harder than they did before. My first thought was they can’t do any upper-body strength training for months while they recover from the surgery, so they’re forced to work on lower body, core, and mobility [...]

In place of “Stuff You Should Read” this week, I thought it might be cool to direct you to our most popular pages and videos for 2009, according to our website statistics. Presumably, these are the ones that people forwarded to friends the most, and/or the ones that caught the most people’s eyes. This excludes [...]
