Pitching Training: What To Focus On This Off-Season?

During your pitching training this off-season, it's important to remember that your legs are your best assets to a long, healthy and successful career. I strongly encourage you to focus some considerable attention on building strength, power and endurance in your lower body.

I'm talking about conditioning your lower body by doing ground-based lower body exercises, adding olympic lifts, stretching, etc. The ground-based part is important. We pitch on our feet, so you should train on your feet. Squats are better than seated leg presses. Lunges are better than seated leg extensions. You get the point.

Of course, all this is laid out for you in my baseball pitching workout program.
