Indoor Weight Lifting and Conditioning Facility

For the first time in Bulldog baseball history the program was able to have a workout facility to call their own. Last November the school and the baseball team combined their efforts to build and put together a weight room on campus. Over the summer the weight room got an additional face lift. Nudo office products donated an entire nautilus line of weight machines to the Pit fitness center on campus making the workout facility a comprehensive fitness center that includes all the essentials to getting a great workout.

The players have utilized it very well.

Several years ago with the help of Mr. Tim Elliott the program was introduced to an acceleration program and a stringent workout for our pitchers called 7 innings of heck. Our players began the acceleration program in early September and continued it until early November. The program included a medicine ball workout, a dumbbell exercise, tubes, hurdles, ladders, side strike, lateral crossovers, depth jumps, tennis ball drops and a lateral box run.

On November 15 the players started there lifting program.  This group has flat out gotten after it this winter. We have never had the fortune of being able to lift and train as a group in a facility quite like this before and it is amazing how much bigger and quicker many of the players have gotten. With their continued dedication into the winter months and during the dead period the sky is the limit with this group of guys. We hope this will be a difference maker come region tournament time.
