Looking Back: The Biggest Mistake Pro Baseball Players Make

Written on August 15, 2010 at 12:23 pm, by Eric Cressey

I know a lot of professional (and college/high school) baseball players read this website on a daily basis, so I figured that with just about one month left in this year’s minor league season, I’d report this article from last October.  I think it is a must-read for any professional baseball player, based on my years of experience training guys in this population.  Check it out: The Biggest Mistake Pro Baseball Players Make.

“In a day and age when you read, daily, about players taking ‘shortcuts’ and trying to find the quickest way to ‘get good,’ if you understand anything about the human body and professional sports you know neither of those applies. Eric Cressey is as cutting edge as anyone out there when it comes to throwing a baseball. His insight into not only the bio-mechanics of the action, but in understanding that the kinetic chain is about engaging the entire body and his position specific workouts are far ahead of their time. He also has great insight into the lives we live as professionals and knows that while nutrition is the foundation of any good athlete, there are ways to be healthy, and stay healthy. No matter if you’re traveling from Motel 6 to Motel 6 in the NY Penn League, or on charter flights around the AL East, this guy is as good as they come.”

“In addition to being one of the smartest minds on the planet he’s as good a person as he is a trainer, if not better. I couldn’t recommend anyone more highly than Eric if you are truly serious about tapping into potential you never knew you had, or pushing yourself to places you never knew you could go.”

    How right you are. My 15 year old son spent the last 2 months doing Wolforth’s Combat pitcher program and saw his fastball go from 69 MPH to 77 MPH at his tryouts for the freshman team. Not bad for a 5 foot 8 inch prepubescent boy that only weighs 130 pounds.
