Baseball: Building Upper Body Strength


At Rehab 2 Perform, we know that upper body strength is crucial for baseball players looking to improve performance and prevent injuries. A well-rounded training program should include pressing and pulling movements in both vertical and horizontal planes, mimicking the demands of throwing and hitting. Overhead and forward-reaching motions help develop power and stability, while single-arm exercises enhance control and balance—key for pitching, swinging, and fielding. By incorporating these principles, athletes can build strength, endurance, and resilience, keeping them at the top of their game. Want to take your performance to the next level? Let’s get to work!

Consider these 4 Exercises demonstrated by Dr. Ben.
