If your hips feel tight or you’re losing power in your swing or throw, one muscle we see make a big impact for baseball players is the adductor magnus. It’s got unique connections at the front and back of your pelvis, which means it helps control how well your hips move.

Targeted work here (eccentric strength, soft tissue, dry needling) can unlock more mobility, better control, and stronger, more efficient movement on the field.

College ball isn’t always where development happens.. it’s where performance matters most. That’s why having a team in your corner who lives and breathes development can make all the difference.

We’ve all seen “bad” posture and assumed it means something’s wrong.

However, some of the most elite athletes in the world would “fail” a posture exam yet they move with power, control, and efficiency.

That’s why we don’t stop at what we see. We look at how you move and what the data says.

Watch how we use the active straight leg raise test to assess motor control in RJ’s drive leg - something we commonly see lacking in right-handed throwers.

The key here? Creating a window of opportunity for better glute activation through needling and stim, followed by targeted single-leg exercises to reinforce motor control.

By addressing pelvic positioning and improving range of motion, we’re not just making an immediate change, we’re setting RJ up for long-term movement efficiency in his throwing mechanics.

When athletes train shoulder external rotation, they often focus heavily on the posterior cuff muscles, particularly the rotator cuff and sometimes the deltoid. However, it’s crucial not to overlook a muscle involved in decelerating and controlling layback 👉 the subscapularis.

The subscapularis, which sits on the front side of the shoulder blade and attaches to the humerus, plays a vital role in stabilizing the shoulder joint. Neglecting this muscle can increase the risk of imbalances and potential shoulder injuries, especially in athletes who frequently perform overhead movements.

A well-rounded shoulder program that includes subscapularis and internal rotation training can help maintain joint stability and improve overall movement efficiency.

157 high school baseball players were screened at the end of their fall seasons from programs across the state.

47 players — nearly 30% — showed orthopedic red flags during testing, including UCL instability (Moving Valgus Stress Test), labral issues (O’Brien’s Compression), and nerve tension findings.

Despite this, many will enter their short offseason without a structured plan for long-term development. Some will chase short-term velocity gains without addressing underlying movement issues, while others will shut down completely and miss the opportunity to build up properly for the spring.

At Next ERA, we focus on interdisciplinary development and long-term sustainability through objective data, a collaborative team approach, and years of experience working with athletes from youth to MLB.

Reducing injuries in the spring starts with having a plan before it’s too late.

The secret to becoming a better pitcher isn’t just throwing harder.. it’s causing adaptation. Here’s what we mean.

It’s just like strength training. Volume, intensity, frequency.. we’re just swapping the barbell for a baseball.

We use the same principles from the weight room to train throwers. Stacking stress, recovery and intensity.

Start slow. Build intensity. Focus on efficiency.

That’s how we progress pitchers safely and effectively.
