The Smart Way to Use Plyos in Your Baseball Training

At ProSource Athletic Performance, we believe in smart training strategies for baseball players of all levels. In our latest video, The Complete Guide to Plyos for High School Baseball Players, we provide essential tips for using plyometric balls effectively and safely.

Key Takeaways:

• Understanding Plyos:
  Plyometric training can be a powerful tool for developing arm strength and speed. However, it’s crucial to approach it correctly—especially for high school athletes who are still growing and developing.

• Start Slow:
  Don’t rush into using plyo balls as hard as you can. Start with the heaviest balls, focusing on controlled movements and specific drills, such as reverse throws and pivot pick-offs.

• Progressive Training:
  Build your strength and technique gradually. Aim to increase your intensity only after your body has adapted to the weight and motions of the plyo balls.

• Incorporate into Warm-Ups:
  If you’re using plyos for arm care or as a warm-up before games, stick to lighter balls and throw with lower intensity.

• Avoiding Injury:
  Listen to your coaches and take a cautious approach. Don’t emulate players who are taking unnecessary risks with their training—stay smart and safe.
