The DK Preseason Pitching Program with former collegiate and current professional pitcher Chas Cywin is designed to prepare pitchers for the rigors of the spring baseball season. The program begins with a hypertrophy stage focused on building muscle mass, followed by a strength and power phase to optimize performance. This foundational work establishes a strong base for the upcoming season and is performed in the strength training area of the world renowned Parisi Speed School Bristol.
As the season approaches, the program shifts its focus to arm health and acclimatization. Pitchers who have been resting during the offseason are gradually reintroduced to throwing activities. This gradual progression helps prevent injuries and ensures a smooth transition back to full pitching workload. Drills and exercises are specifically designed to target arm health and improve mechanics.
The final stage of the program prepares pitchers for mound work and builds their workload towards a target of 45-50 pitches. This gradual increase in intensity allows pitchers to develop strength, stamina, and refine their control before preseason practice begins. By following this structured program, pitchers can enter the season physically and mentally prepared to perform at their best.
