Baseball Training Aids That Change My Career

Career Changing Baseball Training Aids


Over the last couple of days, I've pulled some parents aside to make training aid recommendations. I only endorse items that have helped me and I can truly say that these two instruments have literally changed my career:

The first one is a must for EVERYONE. The most preferred training aid of any professional hitting instructor. If a hitting guy ever comes to you and says that he does not believe that the batting tee can help a hitter, I will forewarn you that you are wasting your time. Probably the most reliable, and durable batting tee out currently is the Tanner Tee. I have had mine for about 7 or 8 years now. Any tee will suffice but this one I would say is the choice of many colleges and pro teams today.

Secondly, Throw Max. I've had a history of elbow issues, lack of velocity on my throws, and some of the worst mechanics imaginable. I looked like I was trying to throw darts when I picked up a baseball. The Throw Max changed it all. The pain went away, my mechanics completely changed, and I put more mph on my throws because I learned how to throw more with my core and lower half than relying on my arm. If you want to preserve your kid's arm and improve overall throwing performance, you NEED this tool!
