THE SPOTLIGHT!

Improve Your 60 Yard Dash & Baseball Speed
If you're a baseball player working towards receiving a college scholarship, increasing your draft-ability, or just looking to earn a roster spot...

If you've ever been told that you are too slow or if you're simply looking to improve your speed so that you stick out more and get noticed by scouts at showcase camps...

 
Can Speed Really Be Improved?
  ABSOLUTELY!  While it is true that some players are born with genetic advantages over others, most run at speeds well below their genetic ceiling.  It's important to understand thatrunning fast is not purely physical.  By incorporating proper mental habits, a well-rounded training program, an understanding of the type of run that you are doing, and proper sprinting mechanics, speed for baseball can be improved greatly (and often noticed in the first training session!) However, similiar to improving at other baseball skills such as hitting, improving your speed requires very hard work. Incorporating new habits into your running form and base stealing start may not be extremely physically demanding, but it does require a constant attention to detail.

The BBCOR Bat Standard

Batted Ball Coefficient Restitution

by Steve Orinick

http://www.stevetheump.com/BBCOR.htm (full article)

This new standard measures bat performance and replaces the previous BESR standard. The NCAA (college) required BBCOR bats for the 2011 season.  For NFHS (high school) play, all bats must be BBCOR certified for the 2012 season. BESR (Ball Exit Speed Ratio) is no longer…
