Everyone assumes it's all about homeruns. The harder you hit the ball the better chance you have of getting a hit- Fact. The harder you throw the ball, the better chance of success- Fact. The stronger you are, the longer you can wait on a pitch before you pull the trigger which helps you find more consistent contact. Barry Bonds himself has said these things. You don't need steroids to get bigger, faster, stronger but they do help :lol:

1) every other team had access, if not more access to the steroids
2) Every other team used the juiced bat

Kurt Hester started a legacy in Baton Rouge when he became the strength coach in the early 90's. LSU stopped doing all the long distance marathon running that every other team in the country was doing and started training like beasts under Hester.
Hester wanted to make the LSU Tigers the biggest and strongest team in the country... and it worked.
LSU players looked like NFL stars: big, strong and powerful. Hester did what nobody else was doing and now we have come back to doing what everyone else is doing once again. If you want another dynasty like the 90's and early 2000's, we need to do what others are not doing once again. Today's mentality is that baseball players need to train differently than all other athletes. This is wrong thinking.
Bryce Harper, Aroldis Chapman, Mike Trout, Nolan Arenado, the list goes on- these guys train like animals. Bryce Harper can power clean 375 pounds. Some of the kids we see nowadays(not just LSU) look like they just rolled out of the nearest Donut Shop before they came to the field.

We need Hester mentality back.
