they're in that prime window of really being able to take advantage of the age and where their physical stature is in the current moment.
I don't know if I can name anyone in particular that stands out, just because that's kind of what our expectation is, particularly in the minor leagues, too, is...
you want to make a strong push to, like, put yourself at the front of the pack, like, you physically change yourself, you know.
And that's a great point.
You add a bunch of weight.
Like, you add a bunch of strength.
And, you know, that's the expectation at the big league level is that, like, you're closer to that physical ceiling already.
So making, like, huge, huge gains, like, don't happen as often.
But definitely in the minor leagues, like, guys –
come in and they're you know 20 pounds heavier and you know 18 of it's like just muscle and all of a sudden they're hitting the ball way harder and you see those stories happen a lot more and that's what we want to have like for our minor league guys is to put in that that body of work in the offseason that really turns some heads um and i think for guys like
Yeah, a lot of it's kind of dependent on the player and what their, you know, what their bodies kind of adapt to throughout, you know, throughout the season and throughout, you know, what they do in the offseason.
But for me, a lot of it is, you know, I wouldn't say stretching in particular, I would say more like mobility work, right?
So...
you know, essentially like lubing up the joints and making sure everything is, you know, moving the way it's supposed to, rotating the way it's supposed to, contracting and relaxing.
For me, a lot of that's based around like the pelvis and the trunk, right?
So everything's really kind of starting from your hips and your pelvis in that core and then obviously being
you know, the rotational sport that we have, like having freedom to be able to rotate, um, both in your, in your hips and in your trunk T spine is, is super important.
Um, and really you just want to be able to provide like the, the normal range of motion and freedom to move that that guy has.
Um,
you know, to kind of mitigate those soft tissue injuries that happen, right?
