Clutch General Preperation Program: Build the Foundation to Dominate the Diamond

The problem: Parents and players care about exit velo, bat speed, 60-yard time, and staying healthy, but most “plans” are random, too heavy, or ignore arm-care and workload ramp-up, which parents discuss constantly in forums and groups. You can't shoot a cannon off a canoe.

Our solution: A beginner-proof 12-week progression that teaches the lifts, builds rotational power (med-ball throws), improves landing & decel mechanics, and micro-doses arm-care so athletes feel better between games. We use plain language, video demos, and equipment swaps so anyone can start confidently, at home or in the gym.

This isn’t just a weight room grind. It’s a strategic, performance-based system that targets the key pillars of elite baseball performance:

✅ Explosive Strength & Power – Develop serious force behind your swing and throw ✅ Rotational Speed & Mobility – Move fluidly and stay healthy through every rep ✅ Speed, Agility, & Athleticism – Gain first-step quickness and base-stealing burst ✅ Arm Care & Durability – Keep your arm alive through the season, not just into it

Who's it for:

⚾New or returning athletes (HS/MS) and parents who want a safe, structured on-ramp ⚾Players with limited gym experience or low confidence with barbells ⚾Coaches seeking a unified, athlete-proof progression for 8-12 weeks

What Sets Clutch Prep Apart? We don’t just prepare you for a season. We build your foudation. We build your athletic foundation. By the end of this program, you won’t just feel stronger, you’ll feel like an athlete, but most importantly feel more confident in the weight room .You’ll be primed and ready to transition into the Clutch Baseball Monthly Program, where we elevate your performance, personalize your progression, and guide you toward your destination.

This is your launchpad. The next level begins after this foundation. The Clutch Baseball Performance Training takes you to the next stage where exit velo, bat speed, 60-yard dash, pulldowns all improve to display in your travel teams and make you showcase ready 💪⚾

Tempo Runs (Athlete)

Tempo Runs: Your speed will be slightly faster than a jog but less than a sprint...think 75% of max sprint speed. Maintain great posture/technique as you stride each set. Prescription: Perform 8 sets of 60 yard Tempo runs from A to B. Run from A to B at about 75% of max sprint speed. (Rest/Recovery between sets = walking half the distance performed = 30 yards; therefore you will walk 15 yards from B and back to B to begin second set towards A.

I help baseball athletes build field ready speed, rotational power, and durable shoulders/elbows using clear progressions and simple metrics (10-yd split, jump tests, med-ball throws). You’ll get sensible workouts, workload awareness, and beginner-friendly coaching notes in every session. Every video, I personally film to instruct you just like you are in the Clutch Facility with me.

Learn Lifts. Get Stronger. Start today.

Stop guessing. In 12 weeks, learn the lifts, time your 10-yd, add rotational pop, and build durable shoulders without gym anxiety. Hit Start Program and log your first win this week.

FAQs

I'm new/have some experience, is this right for me?

This is perfect for you. There will be five different phases. If you need to stay in a specific phase longer, do so. If you need to skip a phase because it is too easy, do it. This is a safe way to be introduced to the world of strength training in 12 weeks, and it also accommodates your timeline.

How do I know I'm improving?

There will be testing exercises placed throughout, but also make sure to input your weights and sets to track these variables over time too.

Who is this program for?

This is for baseball players who have limited to no experience in the gym. Approximately 12+ years old. The first phase will focus on reinforcing movements, while the last phase will introduce how to lift outside your comfort zone, training you to become more comfortable with the uncomfortable.

What if I don't know how to perform an exercise?

Each workout has a video of me explaining every exercise just like I would if you were in the gym with me. The best part about this set-up is that you can have me explain an exercise on your time! If something does not feel right, you can message in the APP or email.

I have experience and ready for sport specific training!

Clutch. If you're ready and have a foundation in movement/weight training, it's time to start your monthly workouts that mirror your school and travel seasons as closely as possible. Follow this link: https://marketplace.trainheroic.com/workout-plan/team/baseball-power-program?attrib=284570-web
