Excited to kick off the first week of the Fall training quarter! As usual, starting off with screens, technical inhibitor diagnostics as well as efficiency testing with . “When you have an athletes physical screen and kinematic sequence data, you can train with a scalpel and not a saw” - Coach Steve ’tguess

04/11/2021

The whole Advanced Baseball team want to send a big shout out and good luck to all the high school athletes starting up their high school season this week. Y’all have worked extremely hard and have overcome so much over the last year and are no doubt gonna go show well.

Starting off the Winter Training quarter with assessment week. screens, 3D Motion Capture, reports, bat speed & exit speeds and everything in between. Don’t guess when you can assess! Having all of the information on the athletes in front of you allows you to address all of their needs from physical to technical!

10/28/2020

Always a great time when two guys get together. Big congrats to Mark Pryor and the rest of the organization on their World Series victory. Coach Steve is proud to have had the opportunity to work with the organization and help bring methodologies to LA!

10/13/2020

Over the weekend we had the pleasure of having 2x NL All Star Jonathan Lucroy out to the facility for our assessment process. 3-D Motion Capture, screens, and power testing gives us the info needed to create targeted programming to help him with the direction of his training this off-season. Great dude and looking forward to working with him again.
As Coach Steve always says, “When you have an athletes physical assessment and kinematic sequence data, you can train with a scalpel and not a saw.”

Create an atmosphere of hard work with a bit of fun thrown in and let the current studs influence the next generation! Love seeing our guys present and future getting after the ever dreaded “leg matrix” routine

WARM-UP / FORM-UP / TIME-UP

Warm-Up the specific parts of the body you are about to stress

Form-Up the motor pattern development for proper sequencing

Time-Up the ex*****on of proper sequencing in a timing setting.

This a simple and basic progression formula to help ensure the athletes best chance for success on the field. However, we see many athletes, teams, and programs not subscribing and thus limiting the athletes success on the field.

Has COVID-19 affected your athletes movement capabilities?...they’re efficiency? Many athletes are going back with their teams or organizations without any type of screening or assessing to identify any hotspots or weak links caused by the lay-off. Don’t guess when you can assess. Here’s Coach Steve screening an athlete to check on his internal hip rotation. We’re excited to be back and to bring the right information to our athletes!

Coach Steve and Coach AJ down in Sarasota helping to deliver another successful OnBaseU team seminar!

10/09/2019

Coach Steve and Coach AJ had another successful OnBaseU certification weekend in Boston. The OnBase family and knowledge continue to grow!

Coach Steve demonstrating throwing the football from 2-knee drill
1. In order to throw correctly(a spiral) keep the elbow on plane and have great internal/external rotation of the throwing arm, which is exactly what you want when throwing a baseball
2. You can’t throw a football wrong mechanically and make it spiral

Day 1 of the Summer training quarter for Advanced Baseball! Utilizing OnBaseU pitching and hitting screens then measuring efficiency with K-Vest! If you’re not assessing then you’re guessing! Also excited to introduce the Super Speed Slugger bat speed fitness protocols for our athletes!

Trust the process

Lunges with torque is a great cross-specific exercise especially for pitchers to help increase hip-shoulder separation. Simply put, cross-specific means the more the exercise/drill looks like the movement patterns on the field the more benefit gained from the exercise/drill. Note the lower half of the body during the lunges closely resembles the lower half during the pitch.

Was able to work and assist with @onbaseu in action at @advancedbaseball_dc with our pitching instructor Steve Johnson, his son @advancedbaseball_aj, and their coaching staff.
As Dr. @tpigreg always says, “anyone can take care of a professional athlete; let me see you build one.” I can say that these guys really know what they are doing when it comes to building great pitchers and hitters for baseball. The years of research and implementation working with @tomhousenpa that has gone into their programming is seen through their wall of college acceptance for scholarships and the performance of their athletes around the world.
These guys don’t guess; they assess. They OnBaseU screen, @functionalmvmt screen, use @kmotion3d for kinematic sequence, and give a report and plan that is specific to the athlete they are seeing.
As Steve told me, “Prepare-compete-repair! Tomorrow’s pitch is only as good as yesterday’s recovery.” Do you understand the proper movement of the baseball/softball athlete? Do you know the proper interventions and programming for them? Do you have a team around your athlete for medical and fitness??? No? Check out @onbaseu for one of our seminars coming up!
