For baseball players, there is no offseason. While they’re not playing, they’re constantly working to get better. Whether you’re a pitcher looking to refine your control or add a couple of MPH to your fastball, or a corner outfielder who’s looking to bump up your batting average and become a better defender, it’s important to put a lot of thought into your off-field training.
If you’re a pitcher, you know that your arm is your most important resource. Pitching isn’t a natural motion for your body, so it’s important to strengthen your muscles so they can stand up to all the innings you throw during the season. A weighted ball throwing program can help you increase both velocity and your range of motion in your shoulder. You’ll not only throw harder but you’ll be able to pitch longer into games as well! You can also use standard fitness equipment like resistance bands and weights to help improve your strength, endurance, and balance - so when you take the mound you can be confident about pitching deep into games.
If you’re playing on the other side of the ball, we can still help you out. United carries a broad selection of hitting tees so you can refine your swing in the offseason. Hitting off a tee allows you to work on more specific aspects of your swing in a controlled environment. With the help of a tee, you can help tailor your swing for more lift to hit more flyballs, or try to emphasize a shorter, quicker swing so you can hit the ball to the opposite field more effectively. You can also utilize equipment like bat trainers and hitting weights if you’re looking to improve your power and hand-eye coordination at the plate as well. In terms of building pure strength in your arms and core, we have a variety of weights, medicine balls, and other strength training equipment so you can make sure you're hitting the ball harder and further than last season.
In terms of improving your play in the field, we offer a range of fielding trainers that can help bolster your technique in both fielding the ball itself and transferring it so you can prepare to make a throw. These tools help you brush up on the fundamental aspects of your game so you can make the routine plays every time and make the hard plays look easy.
