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

Miguel Tejada Free Agent

After impressing during an extended spring training "look" and then showing that he was more than capable of playing on a regular basis with AAA Norfolk Tides (38 years old) Miguel Tejada, knowing there was little roster room with the parent club (Baltimore Orioles), asked for and was granted his release on June 25, 2012.

This in no way means he is done. His love and respect for the game of baseball drives his passion & determination...to PLAY baseball. Today, we once again started up our in-gym and on-field training program, and will continue to do so in hopes that a team will need a MVP, All-Star, veteran presence.

Tejada Updates

Since joining AAA Norfolk Tides on May 20, 2012, Miggi has played 16 games, primarily at 3rd, and is posting a .339 BA.

I hope it's just a matter of time before he gets back the MLB and to the game he truly truly loves.

Tejada in AAA

Miguel Tejada has now taken yet another step towards joining the Orioles. May 20, 2012 Miggi joined AAA Norfolk Tides, batted 4th and went 2-4 with an RBI. That's a big step forward.

It's official!!!!

On Monday, May 7, 2012 Miguel Tejada arrived in Sarasota to take part in a physical (which he passed) and workout for the Baltimore Orioles.  Having impressed, he signed a minor league deal Tuesday and then went on to appear in an extended spring training game. While evaluating him over the next 10 days, the plan is to get him baseball ready with hopes of getting some more quality game speed ABs at AAA Norfolk and then if all goes well onto Baltimore.

Buena Suerte Miggi.

Tejada to (re)join Orioles

When Free Agent and 15 year MLB veteran, Miguel Tejada realized that he wouldnt be reporting to 2012 spring training camp, he could of hung up his cleats; rather, he called and entrusted me in getting him baseball ready for the day he would be contacted. The past 2.5 months, week-in and week-out, I had a front row seat and witnessed his work ethic, dedication, commitment and passion to his on-field and in-gym training. He is so excited to be playing baseball. He truly loves the game.
Duquette: Miguel Tejada 'has a lot of enthusiasm for Baltimore'


Monday, May 7, 2012 Miggi reports to Sarasota for his physical and workout. Stay tuned for the results.

Youth Camp

This past Sunday, 2/6/11, Cincinnati Reds C, Ramon Hernandez organized a free clinic to some young ball players. He recruited help from San Francisco GIants SS, Miguel Tejada, and Florida Marlins SP, Anibal Sanchez. In addition Ramon asked me if I would come out to implement the pre-camp warm up and some SAQ drills. I was honored. What alot of fun. Here's a couple of pics.










This past week, I have had the opportunity to work with some ballplayers on various ball fields...and after all these years, I still feel the most alive when Im in between the white lines.

go hard in the yard.
