We welcome Washington Nationals starting pitcher Josiah Gray to this week’s podcast. Josiah trained at Cressey Sports Performance – FL this past offseason and really impressed me as not only a hard worker, but a pitcher who really understands his identity and what makes “his unique” successful. He wasn’t a highly-touted prospect out of high school, but turned himself into a second rounder and, eventually, a big leaguer thanks to his preparation.

A special thanks to this show’s sponsor, Proteus Motion. They’re changing the way we assess and train athletes with their 3D Resistance. Head to www.ProteusMotion.com to learn more about this cutting-edge technology.

You can follow Josiah on Instagram at @jojo_gray21.

Sponsor Reminder

Proteus Motion has a patented technology that allows us to measure power for the overwhelming majority of human movements. Proteus software guides users through 4-minute physical assessments to arm trainers with unprecedented performance data and insights, creating an entirely new standard for personalized fitness and physical rehabilitation. All of this is enabled by a total reinvention of resistance training called 3D Resistance. Training power and acceleration with Proteus’ patented 3D Resistance can be safer, more efficient, and more effective than traditional resistance training tools in many cases. I’ve been a big fan of Proteus for the past few years. We have a unit in both Cressey Sports Performance facilities, and actually helped to develop the Cressey Power test for rotational athletes. The information we’ve gathered from this testing has been an absolute game-changer in helping us to more optimally program for our athletes. Additionally, as a training initiative, work on the Proteus has allowed us to train different points on the force-velocity curve in rotational patterns in ways that medicine ball work never could.

You can learn more about them by listening to Episode 106 of the Elite Baseball Development Podcast, or by heading to www.ProteusMotion.com.
