We launched the Elite Baseball Development Podcast in 2019, but 2020 was the first full year we had it available. In all, we released 41 episodes in 2020 – and I learned a ton from some great guests. That said, here are our top five episodes from the year:

2. Mobility Methods with Dana Santas – Dana speaks about how to fine-tune methods of improving mobility. She also highlights common mistakes baseball players make when implementing yoga.

3. Helping Hitters to Higher Ground with Doug Latta – Doug contributes some great thoughts on hitting set-up, mechanics, and approach.

4. Speed Training in Baseball with Lee Taft – Lee discusses baseball movement competencies and how to coach them. CSP-MA Director of Performance John O’Neil takes the lead as a guest host.

5.
