Five Tool Baseball Performance Training (FTBPT) is dedicated to sharing its knowledge, ideas and opinions on baseball performance training based upon field tested experiences as player, coach and baseball strength & conditioning coach. Proper exercise technique ( to ensure effective & efficient training programs) and baseball related movement patterns are implemented to maximize on-field performance. Emphasis is placed on movement based training which integrates multiple muscle groups. This approach has a greater transfer to on-field performance and can minimize the incidence and risk of injury. 
 If a game is being played you can be sure Im watching it from home or from the stands. Many of my own workouts involve designing/creating out-of-the-box exercises & programs to enhance performance and movement unique to baseball

Aledmys Diaz

Part of our lower body day included some truck pushes...great for lower body strength, and tremendous conditioning.


Aledmys Diaz, St Louis Cardinals

This is the first of several videos I'll be posting of Aledmys Diaz during his off-season strength training program with us.

This particular video may not look like much but there's a ton going on from shoulder stability, rotational core stiffness, to hip flexor mobility.
