Lots of cleans and core.

cleans are on their way out in most places including minor leagues.

with proteus and ability to track med ball throw velo now, people are goign away from cleans due to variety of reasons

1) very complex lift and much harder to learn
2) the velocities in the lift are not nearly what we once thought
3) increased risk of injury do the catch in the clean putting the shoulders and elbows along with wrist in bas spots
4) clean is almost exclusively in the coronal plane. power is very plane specific and baseball is played more in the transverse plane and power in baseball is almost exclusively applied in the transverse plane.

proteus is the future and VBT training is where 99% of teams are going at the highest level if the athlete is the weight he needs to be (2.5x height in inches minimual, 2.75-3 is optimal)


BTW is your son still playing? if so how is he doing?
