In baseball, performance doesn’t stop when the last pitch is thrown or the final out is made. What happens after the game—the recovery process—can be the difference between staying sharp all season or sitting on the sidelines with fatigue and nagging injuries.
In the world of baseball, athletic precision and body control are everything. Whether you’re stepping into the batter’s box, turning a double play, or sprinting around the bases, your body’s balance is key to executing plays efficiently and safely.
