Baseball Specific Push Ups for More Speed & Power with Coach Andrew Sacks

Coach Andrew Sachs from Prime Sports Performance introduces two baseball-specific push-up variations: the push-up plus and the rotational push-up. These exercises are designed to improve shoulder health and core stability, crucial for baseball players. The push-up plus focuses on scapular rotation and strengthening the serratus anterior, while the rotational push-up enhances thoracic spine mobility and anti-rotational core stability. Both exercises are beneficial for pitchers and hitters to maintain a healthy throwing arm and improve power production.
