Evolution of Baseball
Evolution Baseball, AK Performance, & The BRAND NEW Turf Training Center are partnering to offer a premier environment for dedicated baseball student-athletes seeking to compete at the next level. The program’s unique structure includes an integrated system with baseball skill development, mechanics, strength training, conditioning and power development. A significant emphasis is placed on the athletes mechanical movements, strength and speed to develop the athleticism needed for top level play.
Development of Athletic Fundamentals, Mechanics and Mobility (Bio-Mechanics)
Athletes are put through our assessment and thoroughly evaluated to aid in correct program development. This program is tailored to the athletes needs and goals with a continued focus on mechanics, strength, speed, aerobic and power development.
Development of Power, Speed and Agility
We will focus heavily on exercises that train both the movements and muscles that are involved with baseball. Making a workout baseball specific means focusing most of our time on the core big lifts and movements that all athletes need. There is a lot of hip extension in baseball, a lot of lateral hip extension in baseball and a lot of rotation in baseball.
