Optimizing Baseball Training With Infrasternal Angle (ISA): Individualizing Programs for Hitters and Pitchers

The ISA fundamentally affects movement because it influences how the thoracic ribcage and spine flex, extend, rotate, and stabilize. In narrow ISA individuals, the ribcage is biased toward external rotation (ER), favouring movements that require rapid rotation and elastic recoil. In wide ISA individuals, the ribcage is positioned with a more significant internal rotation (IR) window, suiting them for compression-based strength exercises and sustained force production over wider ranges of motion.

Velocity-Based Training (VBT) for Baseball: Optimizing Speed and Power

Baseball is a sport that relies heavily on speed and power, whether it’s throwing a fastball, swinging a bat, or sprinting to steal a base. Traditionally, strength training has been the cornerstone of building these physical traits. However, modern technology has introduced a game-changing tool: Velocity-Based Training (VBT). By measuring the speed of movement during exercises, VBT provides a more precise and individualized approach to training, allowing athletes to optimize their power and explosiveness.

Readiness to Throw: The Imperative of Daily Assessment and Monitoring

Readiness to Throw: The Imperative of Daily Assessment and Monitoring

At Velo Baseball, we recognize the indispensable role of daily readiness assessments in maintaining this aspect of an athlete's health as they navigate their throwing schedule. This post delves into why these assessments are fundamental in navigating this high-velocity era and how they inform our daily decisions about throwing volume and intensity.
