HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL
“PLAYER DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM”
Diamond Turf is now accepting signups for its high school player development programs. The Diamond Turf staff along with Velocity Sports Performance has developed the complete high school baseball training program. Our Program focuses on the essential aspects of baseball training: hitting, throwing, fielding, and explosiveness each performed under the watchful eye of our expert instructors.Goals of the Program:
- Prepare players to begin their high school practice season at peak performance, both physically and mentally.
- Condition players to top personal performance.
- Improve player’s position specific skills and knowledge though drills, game situations, and video analysis
Hitters will learn and develop hitting skills through drills, video analysis, and live pitching that focus on mechanics and proper fundamentals for each individual.
Infielders will be put on a progressive throwing program to develop arm strength and health. During this program, infielders will execute throws from a wide variety of arm angles and body positions. All infielders will develop a proper approach to all types of ground balls, specific to their position.
Outfielders will be put on a progressive throwing program to develop arm strength and health. As an outfielder footwork is “key”. Footwork on all ground and fly balls must be highly developed. All outfielders will work on routine ground-balls, and getting a strong and accurate throw to the infield quickly.
Pitchers will be put on progressive throwing program consisting of long toss, short range, flat ground and mound work. They will learn to develop “command” of their fastball (4-seam, 2-seam) regardless of how hard they throw. We’ll develop change-up that feels good to them and a breaking pitch that they are capable of throwing consistently.
Catchers will be put on a progressive throwing program. The health and strength of a catchers arm is just important as the pitchers. Catchers will work on the physical and mental skills required to be proficient behind the dish. Areas of concentration are: Receiving, blocking, throwing to all bases, pick-off throws, fielding bunts, fielding pop-ups, “plays at plate,” tags, double plays, 1st & 3rd responsibilities, and run downs.
