Week 4 – Maintenance (ages 17 and older)
The program utilizes both under and over-weighted plyo balls and it is intended for older pitchers (17 and older), physically mature, healthy and pain free with a decent foundation of strength. There are many considerations when working with weighted balls (WBs), one of which is a thorough physical assessment. In the absence of such an assessment, we have limited the max weight of plyo balls for most drills at 7 oz. in this program. If you are considering higher weights, we strongly urge you to get an assessment (in either case, we don’t exceed 9 oz. on drills with the exception of Marshalls and Reverse Throws).
