Baseball Training
At NX Level we work to develop sport specific power to help each individual athlete reach his or her performance goals. Power development is accomplished through speed and strength training.
Speed Training for Baseball
Specifically, a baseball player has to be able to decelerate after releasing the ball toward home plate.
Acceleration is the first step toward second after the pitchers move home or hitting a 2-0 curve ball off the right field fence. At NX Level we work to increase acceleration through:
• Sprint and acceleration mechanics up to 60 yards
• Rotary core and glute strength to improve base running and bat head speed
Strength Training for Baseball
Improvement in lat extention flexibility and strength of the
internal mechanisms in the shoulder to avoid overuse issues, improve integrity, and maintain mobility. Pitchers must train specific posterior shoulder muscles and improve core rotary strength as well to improve ball velocity.
At NX Level will use all full body lifts such as Olympic variations, front and back squats, all angles of pressing with bars and dumbbells. These lifts improve total body development, movement, flexibility, and conditioning for the sport of baseball.

“During my twenty-eight years as an educator and Head Baseball Coach, Brad Arnett stands out in my mind as one of the most outstanding men I have met. In describing Mr. Arnett’s performance as our strength and conditioning coach, only superlatives come to mind.” -Andy Lopez, University of Arizona Head Baseball Coach
