Baseball Speed Training

Despite investigations showing that steroids are incredibly pervasive in major league baseball, to the extent that it is discussed casually and drugs are used openly, the powerful Major League Baseball Players Association has increased initiatives to ban steroid-users among baseball players for years. Some of the greatest baseball stars in the past 20 years have been named as steroid-users.

This has resulted in a backlash by those trying to preserve the integrity and sportsmanship of Major League Baseball. Former U.S. Senator George Mitchell called steroid-using baseball stars “drug cheats” and recommended more stringent testing for performance-enhancing drugs. He noted that steroid use “exposed players to serious health risks and threatened to corrupt the integrity of baseball itself”.

Not believing in your talent. As hard as it is to believe I see many high school baseball players that should be playing in college but do not think they are good enough. Sometimes recruiting comes down to who wants it more once athletes reach a certain talent level.

Hand Placement is KEY!
Hand placement is a critical component of your swing, because most of your power comes from the positioning of your arms and hands when hitting a baseball. To put it simply, where would you want your hands if you were to throw a punch at someone? Would you want them far away from your body, or tightly snug in front of your chest ready to explode. Well you would select the latter choice of course! But then why is it that Major Leaguers hold their hands in all different locations? Well as I said before, it is insignificant where they are originally held. All that matters is how your hands and arms line up when you’re bringing them through the strike zone to hit the ball. You must understand this important FACT! Therefore, it definitely would make more sense to hold your hands closer to your body (mainly your back shoulder) so that they are already in position to hit the ball; however this is NOT necessary if you are comfortable in your stance.

There have been players who have been banned from the Hall of Fame, such as Pete Rose, who bet on baseball when he was manager for the Reds. But for steroid users, the boundaries seem to be more blurry. If they are allowed into the Hall of Fame, it would almost be like condoning steroid use, something that the Major League Baseball Players Association has already been guilty of doing for years.

Remember how Ken Griffey Jr. used to stand in his stance in his prime (almost straight up with his legs close together). He was very comfortable this way, and then when he went to swing the bat, his step was much larger so that he attained a wider, more balanced final position.

Perhaps baseball players guilty of steroid use should be allowed in, but put in a special section called the “Hall of Shame”, reserved for those who break the rules. Future baseball players and fans can then look at their names and titter, knowing that their stunning records were achieved by less-than-kosher means and have nothing to do with their real abilities or peak for
