With baseball athletes being the largest segment of the Cressey Sports Performance athletic clientele, it seems only fitting to devote a “Best of 2017” feature to the top baseball posts from last year. Check them out:

1. 6 Key Factors for Developing Pitchers – In this article, I look at some things I’ve learned from some of our peak performing pitchers at the MLB level – and how they can help up-and-coming players.

2. Are Pitching Mechanics Really That Repeatable? – We hear the phrase “repeat your mechanics” pretty often, but you’ll be surprised at how hard (or impossible) that really is to do.

3. Sports Performance: Study the Majority, and Stop Cherrypicking Exceptions to the Rule – The baseball community loves to try to build theories off of small sample sizes when we all should be looking at the majority to see what works.

4. A Letter to This Year’s MLB Draft Picks – There are lots of life lessons in here for more than just baseball players.

5. Overlooked Uses for a J-Band: Part 1 and Part 2 – Here are some innovative ways that we use this awesome piece of equipment.

We’ve got one last “Best of 2017” list running tomorrow, so stay tuned for the closer!
