When Boundaries Betray Us by Carter Heyward

Baseball programs at all levels recognize the competitive edge that can be gained by their athletes through targeted resistance training programs. Every Major League Baseball team, most minor league teams, the top 25 ranked college baseball teams, and even some high schools (depending on the level and size) have a full-time strength and conditioning professional on staff. With Strength Training for Baseball, you will gain insights into to how amateur to professional baseball players are trained, and you will learn to apply those best practices with your own team to gain a winning advantage.

Developed with the expertise of the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA), Strength Training for Baseball explains the value of resistance training for baseball athletes--backed by practical experience, evidence-based training methodologies, and research. The book will help you understand the specific physical demands of each position--pitchers, catchers, middle infielders, corner infielders, center fielders, and corner outfielders--so you can design program that translate to performance on the field. You will also find the following:

• 13 detailed protocols to test baseball athletes' strength, power, speed, agility, body composition, and anthropometry
• 11 total body resistance exercises with 13 variations
• 19 lower body exercises with 29 variations
• 28 upper body exercises with 38 variations
• 23 anatomical core exercises with 11 variations
• 34 sample programs for off-season, preseason, in-season, and postseason resistance training

Each resistance training exercise consists of a series of photos and a detailed list of primary muscles trained, beginning position and movement phases, modifications and variations, and coaching tips to guide you in selecting the right exercises for a program. You'll also learn how to structure those programs based on the goals and length of each season and for each position.

Backed by the NSCA and the knowledge and experience of successful high school, college, and professional baseball strength and conditioning professionals, Strength Training for Baseball is the authoritative resource for creating baseball-specific resistance training programs to help your athletes optimize their strength and successfully transfer that strength and power to the baseball field.
