Interesting Orioles Strength and Conditioning Insight

[Luke-OH]

Here's a video with Matt Antonelli who some of you all may remember played for the Orioles (MLB deal but played in AAA) back in 2012.  He discusses his experience working out with the team and the influence of Brady Anderson. It's definitely worth checking out.

Really interesting.    I’d love to see Brady doing squats on top of the big ball.

Don't worry, that didn't sound strange at all.

Interesting stuff. I think Brady does an excellent job with the position players getting them strong and ready for the season. I don't think his workout routine really translates to pitchers well. Matusz and Wright come to mind for me. Brady talked up both of those guys after working out with him. They may have been in great shape, but they still couldn't pitch. Hopefully they can find the Brady equivalent to pitchers sometime soon.

Brady's routine may be perfect for pitchers. But a perfect workout routine is no guarantee of pitching success.

And think back to the “arrival” of Chris Tillman and his 25-10 record since his call-up at the second half of the 2012 season.

What is the common denominator behind these stories and a list of others we could additionally cite? It is Brady Anderson and the conditioning program that he has installed as a normal part of the new culture of the Baltimore Orioles organization.  Some of the Orioles players have found quick success with this technique, whereas for others it is taking a bit longer to see the reward. But the payoff for more than a few is undeniable.

You never hear Chris Tillman talk about his pitching metamorphosis without some credit being given to working with Brady Anderson. Zach Britton spent the offseason with Anderson in Southern California for the second consecutive year, and along with a healthy arm for the first time since 2011, the results look very promising. And Schoop was introduced to the program in the fall of 2012, after the Arizona Fall League concluded that year.

Good info. Thanks. I don't remember reading that. I stand corrected.

Brady also worked a lot with Britton.

Nice read, but none of this makes him qualified to be our next GM.

Hey man, no one judging you.

Unfortunately strength training is only one tool. This sounds completely dumb to say but strength has never been our weakness.
