The core is key body segment for improving baseball performance and staying injury free. The core consists of the hip abdomen and back. It is the relay center of the body that transfers force from the legs to the arms and shoulders. It is more than the “abs.” The most important movements of the core that transfer to baseball are the rotational movement. You will notice that the majority of the core exercises in the program are done in standing and moving positions because those positions functionally transfer to positions where the game is played. Some component of core training is trained in virtually every training session.
