Gotta Love the Game

but turn old because we stop playing"

Shut up and run

If you play the game of baseball long enough you'll more than likely experience a few slumps - hitting slumps and in some cases even throwing slumps. However, one slump that you will not and should not experience, barring injury or laziness, is a running slump. Time and time again I see ball players hit a weak grounder or a little pop-up and then they just "dog-it", mumbling to themself, thinking it's a sure out. Shut up and run. Nothing in baseball is a sure out. To the younger guys: you never know who is watching. Dont come across as being lazy to potential scouts who might be watching. Where have the days of Pete "Charlie Hustle" Rose gone.

Play hard, run harder.

Go hard in the yard.

Power Up...pounds down

In November 2009 Anibal Sanchez, P - Florida Marlins, begins training with Five Tool Baseball. On our first day of training, he tipped the scale at 235lbs. 3 months later he walks into Spring Training clubhouse and weighs in at a lean 205 lbs. For 3 months(4 days a week) our strength training program enabled Anibal to drop the weight while improving his strength,power and flexibility. He's is one of the more dedicated and commited players to have trained with Five Tool Baseball. It made my job not only easier but so much fun.

Good Luck Anibal.

Go hard in the yard.
