Baseball Training – Batter’s Edge for Balance
The Batter’s Edge is the greatest technological advancement in baseball training equipment in over 30 years. The reason is simple – the Batter’s Edge is a baseball batting training device that teaches balance and control when hitting a baseball or softball. It is a remarkable tool designed to improve your hitting performance through repetition of best practice techniques.
Baseball Training – Balance Perfects the Swing
Why is balance important to your swing, you ask? Baseball and softball training coaches teach that balance is the key element for an effective swing. “You can’t hit a round ball with a round bat squarely unless your body is properly balanced,” says Ryan Gorecki, a three-time Seton Hall University batting leader in the 90’s and five year member of the Texas Rangers organization.
Gorecki is a firm believer in the correlation between proper balance and control and the baseball swing: “In order to have proper balance at the plate, your stance must be comfortable, and your weight must be equally distributed with your feet and shoulders squared. Balance must be maintained as you stride into the ball and your bat follows through the hitting zone.”
Baseball Training – Swing is the Thing
Baseball balance training can help boys and girls become better hitters. Gorecki continues, “By staying in balance when hitting, you will be able to rotate on your hips and swing the bat through the zone level, which is the only way to hit the ball squarely. Baseball hitting balance equates to success, and eliminates chopping or upper cutting.”
Ted Williams, the greatest of all technical batsmen, preached the importance of balance in developing a swing that generates greater bat speed and power through the hitting zone. Through repetition of proper baseball training techniques, players can improve their batting skills dramatically.
Baseball Training – For Players of All Ages
A-Game Technology, a pathfinder in technological innovation, has developed the Batter’s Edge as the first baseball training tool that teaches balance, stride, swing, and muscle memory. The Batter’s Edge is a platform training device that comes assembled and fits in most bat bags. Muscle memory allows hitters to concentrate on the pitch, and not their swing. It is like having a coach under your feet helping you to master the skill of hitting.
Gorecki, batting instructor for the East Coast Sports Academy on Long Island, teaches hitting mechanics to boys and girls of all ages. He recommends the Batter’s Edge for baseball hitting drills because it promotes balance by keeping batters on the balls of their feet, allowing a smooth rotation of their hips and weight transfer as the swing comes through the hitting zone.
Through the use of the Batter’s Edge, hitters will better control their stride while maintaining their eye contact on the ball. It also teaches proper back foot rotation at the point of contact. “The more you repeat good balance habits, the better you will hit,” says Gorecki, “and the Batter’s Edge can make the difference in your baseball and softball swing.”

What is a fun way to give baseball tickets?I bought my boyfriend tickets to a baseball game he will love, for our "2 years".. the only thing im missing is how to give it to him. I dont want to hand him two pieces of paper and be boring. I want the gift to be creative.. i also made baseball cookies for him.. they are in little baggies tied with the school colors of the college he will be playing at next year.. i'm planning to give those in a basket of some sort..
If you have any fun ideas let me know. =]

dude, you own! this looks identical to a photograph
véiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii, que difuu
Pitchers come in all sizes and shapes. Some are very healthy, hard working players that barley make their squad. While others are just the opposite yet pitch very well. Here’s the secret to success as a pitcher…..Leg Strength!
Throw to keep your arm and body loose but work the legs. Running, squats, leg press, lunges.
You can test this theory by throwing from a standing, kneeling, and sitting position….The less you use your legs less power you have.
As for field throwing….do you throw off your back foot? Try a “crow hop” a few times it forces you to plant the back foot giving you power and accuracy. I promise you’ll see results!
Good luck. You’ll do fine.
What positions do you play?
Certain kinds of training. Full body exercises. There's no slow heavy movements in pitching, so lifting heavy weights – besides getting a general level of fitness before working towards a more specific level of fitness – makes little sense. You'd just be wasting time. You want to work on being explosive, tax the same system you'll be using on the field, and plyometrics help as well.
All workouts should revolve around variations of – and please note there are 20-80 variations of – the following…
Squat (or quad dominant exercises)
Deadlift (or hip dominant)
Push Press (vertical press)
Power Clean and Power Snatch (Olympic Lifts)
Pullups (Vertical Pull)
Pushups/DB bench (horizontal press)
Rows (horizontal pull)
Typically we will use a weight between 45-65% of a 1 rep max aimed an optimal bar speed and controlled, not slow and controlled. In order to gain fast-twitch a muscle must be exposed to that type of recruitment.
You have to find the right balance between weight on the bar and bar speed. Too heavy a weight and bar speed is very slow. Too light a weight and not enough resistance. The key is developing the ability to generate force.
Typically this happens using a weight between 45-65% of a 1 rep max.
Also, keep in mind that proper post-workout nutrition helps speed recovery so you maximize your training sessions and are fresher for the next one.
The general rule of thumb is a 2-1 carb to protein ratio within 30 minutes following your training session.
This can come in the form of a drink or whole food, but since most people do not like to eat immediately after their workout and are usually away from home when training, the drink is easiest way to get these nutrients.
In addition, the drink is absorbed by the body quicker than most foods.
For speed, sprints are great. You'll have to work the anaerobic system the most. I'd suggest doing ultra-short interval training.
3 sets of 5 repetitions of running 20 meters at 100% intensity, with a 25 second break inbetween each rep (so no lactic acid builds up), and after every set, walk for 2 minutes.
Then 4 sets of 5 reps of running 10 meters at 100% intensity, with a 20 second break inbetween each rep, and jog 2 minutes between sets.
Finally, 2 sets of 10 reps of running 10 meters at 100% intensity with a 15 second break inbetween each rep, and jog 2 minutes between each set.
If your performance begins to deteriorate, the set should cease and the two-minute break should begin.
And you should also do some aerobic fitness as well (ie. running long distances, try to run continuously for 60 minutes. Start off at first at a pace quicker than a walk, and do that for 60 minutes, then keep increasing the speed as the weeks go by), as it helps in quicker recovery from and increases the capacity to perform skill trials at practices, as well as increases mental alertness and tolerance to heat.
Other than that make sure your are doing hip mobility, some med ball throws and conditioning work on other days.
Now, for the first 5-7 weeks, just a general work out to build a good level of fitness is needed, but after that, any more strength gains would be useless and potentially counter productive. After building a good level of fitness, start working on sport-specific fitness like those listed above. I'd also suggest looking at http://www.BaseballTrainingSecrets.com
Make sure you do a dynamic warm up before you excercise, and before you play in any sport, as stretching reduces speed, strength, and force production, and doesn't decrease the risk of injury (it can actually increase it).
What you want to do then is a dynamic warm up:
High knees
Butt kickers
Side shuffles (feet nearly touch in between each rep)
Backwards running
Lunges (get low)
Karaokes
Arm Swing, circles
Running, sprints
Push ups
For arm strength… realize that velocity doesn't come from arm strength. Arm strength would help in preventing injury.
I'm not sure if you're a pitcher or not, but throwing is a skill. To increase velocity, you can either get better at the skill, increase your speed of movement, or increase your momentum. That's true for not just pitchers. Velocity = Mass times Acceleration. If you put on the wrong kind of mass (like you if you trained like you're required to move 400 pounds instead of 5 oz [or 29-32 oz for a bat]), that won't show up on the baseball field positively. It'll hinder your speed of movement among other things (even increase injury).
Best of luck.
wich program he is for doing this ? beside a tablet ofc
Check out baseball express. Also baseball warehouse. They both have great training aids. You can also use a sponge used for car washing that is in the shape of a hand. U slip your hand into the sponge and they can be used for either hand. I bought mine at a auto zone store where they have their car washing supplies. Hope this helps
a good pharmacist
HOLY CRAP! Comparing this to the original picture, they’re identical!
I also play about 3 days a week. I usually trade off each day between strength and running exercises it works for me also throw a few batting cage or bullpen (if you pitch) practices if possible.
I would do all of those. Just stay away from steroids!
Awesome work Williamsshamir
Great video.
Much love Kat
i use photoshop
awesome, keep up the good work!
Nobody will know on here, you'll have to see when you get there.
awesome stuff man,….ama practice hard to get to yo level!
Put it in a dish washer. It won't get beaten up and lose it's shape.
