Baseball pitchers need to have a lot of lower body strength & power in order to generate rotational power and throw the ball with increased velocity. Lower body power is the predominant performance variable that is correlated with pitching velocity. (5) Lead leg stabilization and back leg hip extension power are two key components to transfer energy from the ground into the trunk to enhance rotational power. To optimize leg development for rotational power, a combination of exercises and methods is paramount. Every athlete is different so, experimentation and individualized techniques will be the most successful approach to reach your goals. Heavy load strength training, unilateral exercises, plyometrics, sprints, olympic lifts and ballistic exercises can all be used to develop lower body strength and power for pitchers. Where you should focus your training is dependent on your age, skill level and where you fall on the strength-speed continuum.
