INTRODUCTION
Be relentless & destroy them. Clap for your own damn self.”

T his guide will give you some of the tools we use with our athletes to:

 Maintain, and even improve strength and bodyweight in-season, while most players lose 10 or even 20 lbs that they then
must spend precious time in the offseason regaining.
 Avoid common training mistakes, including red-flag exercises, to help you stay healthy and on the field.
 Understand and simplify in-season nutrition, using calorie-dense whole foods to maintain energy levels and bodyweight.
 Track daily bodyweight changes to quickly identify (and address) negative changes in body composition.
 Balance the demands of in-season competition with a flexible training schedule, designed to minimize soreness and
maximize recovery time prior to the next game appearance.

IN-SEASON TRAINING:
THE BASICS

I n-season training is one of the most overlooked and underappreciated components of a pitcher’s yearly development. While most
arms fizzle out and bodyweights plummet 10 or 15 lbs over the course of spring and summer baseball, it doesn’t have to be this way.
In this guide, you’ll discover how our athletes are able to leverage their training and nutrition in order to stay fresh over the season.

WHY SHOULD I CARE?


Unless you have been living under a rock, you understand that increased strength and muscularity is linked to fastball velocity.
Unsurprisingly, improving the general ability of the involved musculature to produce force (i.e. strength training) also improves the
ability of those muscles to apply greater force to the baseball.

Yes, there are some caveats to this statement, but for the sake of this guide, let’s acknowledge that strength matters (a lot), and that
losing strength and bodyweight over the course of a high school, college or professional season isn’t going to be helping
performance on the field. The following chart (from Building the 95 MPH Body) illustrates this trend - as level of play increases, so
does lean body mass and peak power output of the athletes. Hardly surprising.

TreadAthletics In-Season Strength Program P 5


TreadAthletics In-Season Strength Program P 6
MAJOR ADJUSTMENTS FROM OFF-SEASON TRAINING
The primary goal of off-season training is to elicit positive adaptations to a pitcher’s body – increased strength, improved body
composition, etc. To accomplish most of these goals requires exposing the body to an overload stimulus, a training stressor that
forces the body to adapt. This means progressively more difficult training sessions, which leave the body in a constant state of
breakdown/adaptation.

Fig 1.0 The effect of total volume and training stress on adaptation and recovery.
As you can see, lesser training stressors lead to lesser adaptation s, but quicker recovery
times back to baseline. This is more appropriate for in -season training.

In-season, the goal shifts to optimal in-game performance, which requires the body regularly being in a more fully recovered state.
Notice that all of the training stressors above cause a periodic decrease in performance, which is inversely related to the magnitude
of adaptation that occurs afterward. As such, it isn’t surprising that in-season training uses lesser training stressors than off-season
training, geared towards minimizing fatigue, maintaining strength, and maximizing performance.

TreadAthletics In-Season Strength Program P 7


Frequency, Intensity and Volume
The most effective way that we have found to maintain strength, minimize soreness and maximize recovery is to maintain training
frequency at 3 to 4 training sessions per week, lower intensity to 85-90% of baseline weight within the specified rep range, and
reduce total volume by about 40-50%. As an example, if your offseason set/rep scheme for a specific exercise is to do 4 sets of 10
reps at 100 lbs, in-season do 2 sets of 10 at 85-90 lbs. This is a sufficient stimulus to maintain strength, without causing excess
soreness or delayed recovery.

Exercise Selection
In general, we program most of the same exercises in-season as we do in the off-season. This prioritizes compound, multi-joint
movements over isolation movements, and emphasizes exercises that have smooth, joint-friendly strength curves through a full
range of motion. Besides these broad similarities, here are some additional things to be aware of.

1. Avoid eccentric heavy training – the eccentric, or “negative” phase of a lift is largely responsible for the resulting Delayed
Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS) 24 to 72 hours later. As such, doing frequent “slow negatives” or other forms of eccentric
emphasis training is not advised in-season.
2. Avoid excessive forearm training – while the forearm muscles should be strong, the emphasis comes during off-season
training. In-season, and during off-season phases of high throwing volume, these muscles are constantly fighting to recover in
time for the next outing. Pulverizing them with 18 sets of 6-way forearms, or 120lb farmer’s walks will only dig a pitcher deeper
into a recovery hole.
3. Continue avoiding exercises with a poor risk/reward - this goes without saying, but in-season training injuries are to be
avoided at all costs. Here is a handy chart that lists some of the more common examples, with recommended substitutions.

BALANCING YOUR THROWING SCHEDULE
Here we lay out throwing/lifting schedules for both starting and relief pitchers. These are designed to maximize recovery time for the next
outing while ensuring strength maintenance over the course of a long season. Note that lower and upper body training sessions (each with
an A and B day) may be split up OR combined into total body sessions. Ultimately, this comes down to scheduling and preference.

Mid-Reliever: sample week
The main goal for mid-relievers is to be ready to pitch roughly every 3rd day and train both the upper body and lower body musculature
twice per week each. This can take the form of two total body lifts or four abbreviated upper/lower lifts. Here we lay out the former
option. Conditioning will take place post-game on the night of an outing, and again 2 days after an outing.

Throwing The goal for late relievers is to be hot to pitch roughly every 2 nd day and train both the upper body and lower body musculature twice per
week each. This generally takes the form of two total body lifts, ideally done the night of an outing, post-game. This option consolidates
training stressors and provides maximum recovery time between the training session and next potential outing. Another option is to break
it up into 4 lighter lifts, and do them earlier in the days, on a set weekly schedule (i.e. Mon/Tue/Thu/Fri). Conditioning can either be done
pre-game on the day after an outing, or on a set weekly schedule (i.e. Wed, Sat, Sun).

IN-SEASON NUTRITION
The biggest priority in-season is keeping a positive caloric balance to maintain bodyweight. Determining this requires some
experimentation, and depends on factors such as size, metabolism and activity levels. Each meal should feature whole food sources of
protein, carbohydrate and fat, with fruits/veggies at most meals. Snacks should be carb and protein-rich. Supplements are optional.

BODYWEIGHT TRACKING
Monitoring bodyweight is an important in-season habit to be able to identify changes in body composition. 2 or 3 pound daily
fluctuations are normal, but weekly trends will reveal whether changes need to be made to caloric intake. Make sure to
measure bodyweight under the same daily conditions (same scale, time of day, fed/fasted state, etc.) for maximum reliability.

 Know your body: some days you simply won’t have it. Sickness, poor sleep and other reasons may be to blame, but there is a fine line
between pushing through some adversity and trying to be a hero. If something doesn’t feel right, lower the volume as needed.
FINAL CONSIDERATIONS - TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR CAREER
Chase after and tackle your dreams, don’t passively follow the status quo. That is the fastest route to mediocrity.

I have been in your shoes, and I have navigated through the maze of high school, college and (currently) professional baseball. I urge
you to take the road less traveled, to continue doing those things that your teammates are not willing to do.

The game doesn’t lie – if baseball is your number 3 or 4 priority, it will be exposed as such before long. More than anything, I urge
you to refuse to accept mediocrity for yourself. Pour your heart and soul into the game and it will reward you - on the field and off.

Remember, you don’t have to have the most talent – I sure didn’t. But what I did have was a fierce and unbreakable desire to see
just how far I could push myself. If a skinny lefty throwing 73 miles per hour can do it, what’s your excuse?

It’s time to get to work and take what’s yours.
