The true source of strength and power for a baseball player is centered in the hips and legs. Look at the photos of the two athletes shown from the waist down. One is Sammy Sosa who hit 66 home runs this year. The other is of a Discus thrower. Notice the similarity of the hip and leg position as you look at their full picture on the next page. <br>If a Discus thrower were to train only on upper body specific auxiliary and even lifts, he would fail miserably because of lack of leg and hip strength and explosive power. Maximizing a baseball player's potential does not mean doing leg extensions, leg curls and machine hip and leg exercises for the lower body. Baseball players must Parallel Squat and Power Clean to develop their maximum power. If baseball players were to really get after these two lifts and do them correctly, you'd have to do one of two things. Either move the fences back anothr 50 feet or get used to football-like scores.<br>Baseball players should also do quick foot drills, stretch for speed and jumping power, sprint train and plyometric train. We also do not want to overtrain in the weight room. The maximum time in the weight room should be 45 to 75 minutes three times per week in the off-season and two 30-45 minute workouts twice per week during the season.<br>GET STARTED NOW!<br><br>The bst time to start is now. Junior High is a perfect time to start. Get on the BFS Readiness Program. We have the Total Program Book, Readiness Workout Cards, a Readiness Video and even special Readiness equipment. Just give us a call. The high school and college athlete is at the age to really get after it and make success happen. Get the Total Program Book, the Set-Rep Log Book and the Total Program Video. The pro-level is the toughest time to start because there are so many games. Athletes over 28 who play over 100 games a year hae a dificult time maintaining a workout schedule and being able to recover. The time to start is now. The younger the better.<br>FINAL NOTE <br><br>What was the best thing about Mark McGwire's history making 70-home run season? To me, it was his relationship with his son. The towering 500-foot blasts were great but I was more impressed when he hugged his son so often after circling the bases.<br>In our next issue (Spring 1999), we will feature LSU's remarkable baseball program. They are the two-time defending NCAA National Champions. This will be an in-depth feature article with great interviews from players nd coaches. They do what they are supposed to do and the results speak for themselves. Look forward to it!<br><br>________________________________________<br><br>Coach Shepard s 1996 Prediction:<br><br> In he baseball future even smaller players who play shortstop will be itting home runs. <br><br>Alex broke the shortstop home run record in 1998 with 42 round trippers.<br>_______________________________________<br><br>Baseball players must Parallel Squat and Power Clean to develop their maximum power.
