Andrew Hammer, High School Junior, Increased His Mound Velocity From 71 To 80 MPH In 15 Months
Andrew started training with us last summer as a rising high school sophomore. Andrew was new to the weight room when he started. Like most young athletes, we started by teaching him movement patterns with high volume and low intensity.
After a few months of getting Andrew into better positions, we started to increase the load on his lifts, and he went from a guy who couldn’t do a bodyweight chin-up to being able to control up to 4 elite reps. Andrew had never deadlifted or reverse lunged before starting- As of September 2020 he’s putting up 275lb on his deadlift and repping out 155lb on a front rack reverse lunge.
In Andrew’s training, we will continue to add load to his lifts and clean up his mechanics on the mound. Now being a high school junior, continuing Andrew’s progress in the weight room and on the mound will be essential to his recruitment to play at the next level.
