Core Strength Training For Baseball Pitchers
from:by Scott Mathewson
Aside from having the right baseball glove and bat, your Core Strength for Playing Baseball is very important to determine how successful and healthy you are. The fact that you use rotation in Hitting and Throwing and other baseball movements core strength plays a vital role in how successful you are on the field.
Developing your Core strength should be tailored to your specific sport. There is no point in building muscles that help you in other sports. In baseball and softball you should focus on rotational exercises because all your baseball and softball motions include rotations. When hitting a moving object you are required to rotate your core to make contact. The power you generate comes from your leg drive and the strength of your body. By adding weight training such as a medicine ball you can increase strength, flexibility and performance.
Pitchers need to take a little different route, their muscles should be long and loose. If a pitcher does the wrong weight lifting and training it could effect him negatively. A pitcher cannot lose flexibility because this ultimately means he loses velocity. This is a list of activities that a pitcher should follow weekly. This is a weekly schedule during the season assuming he starts every fifth day.
Monday 1. Run three miles 2. Play Long toss for ½ hour to stretch out arm 3. Ice the arm for 1 hour
Tuesday 1. Run one mile 2. Long toss for 15 minutes then bring it in for catch 3. Bull Pen session, throwing 80% for ½ hour 4. Ice Arm
Wednesday 1. Run three miles 2. Heat Pad on arm, then ice pack and again
Thursday 1. Run one mile 2. Long Toss for ½ hour 3. Play Catch 4. Ice Arm
Friday 1. Game Day Starting Pitcher 2. Ice Arm
Saturday 1. Run two miles
Sunday 1. Run two miles 2. Play short toss
