 “Cal State Fullerton introduced the Jaeger Sports throwing program with our pitching staff for the first time in 2004. We feel the program was very instrumental in helping us accomplish our national championship. Our pitchers became more educated on arm care, arm maintenance, arm exercises, and had more quality in their long toss program. We would recommend the program to any baseball team that is interested in reaching their potential.”

WHAT IS SPARQ? BASEBALL Think Babe Ruth would cut it in today’s brand of baseball? The "slow" game of baseball now moves at light-speed, and successful baseball athletes know they have to train to be faster off the base pad, quicker to the ball in the infield, more powerful behind the plate, and a defensive monster in the outfield. If you’re looking for ways to enhance your game that won’t get you called in front of a congressional committee, SPARQ provides the tools - Protocols, Ratings and Training - you need to elevate your athleticism. It’s already inside you – use SPARQ to let it out. It’s a short question, with a not-so-short answer. First, the easy part. SPARQ is an acronym, standing for Speed, Power, Agility, Reaction and Quickness. Simple enough. But what does that mean? It means that SPARQ’s mission is to help athletes improve in all of those areas through focused, dynamic training. If they improve their overall athleticism, there is no question they will improve their game. You’re already fast? SPARQ can make you faster. You’ve never made the team? SPARQ will help you make the cut. Because we believe strongly that, while not every person is a born athlete, through training every person can become a complete athlete.

TWO PITCHERS IN OUR FREE PITCHING CLASS HAVE GAINED 10 -12MPH IN VELOCITY AND  IMPROVEMENT ON LOCATION . WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR !!  January 20th in three weeks one of our players increased his bat speed from 62 to MPH to 79 MPH  and cut his reaction time by 9 frames (60 frames per second). 

Do you know your present bat speed? Do you know your reaction time on a 80 mph pitch? You should.  Play with us and we can improve your bat speed by as much as 5-10 mph in 21 days. That is going to add 60 feet of distance the ball will travel on your present swing. December 2007,  players increases his throwing speed by 8 mph in four session. This could be you !!!!

Welcome to the 18u AUBURN  team site. Can your present team and baseball center offer all this ? The  18u team with IS300 where we visually match up your swing and pitching mechanics to major league all-star players. Barry Bonds, Randy Johnson, Manny Ramirez, Roger Clemens, Alex Rodriugez, Barry Zito, Albert Pujos and many more player's. (click on hitting tape at bottom of page)

Actual game footage, Used by Major League teams and players. Interactive and dynamic, see your swing or pitching mechanics side by side with a pro in seconds. The best training tool for the serious baseball player. (go to bottom of page and click on hitting tape for example) The system improves the communication between coach and player to make quicker adjustments and have a fuller understanding of the mechanics involved in hitting and pitching. In minutes we can make adjustments to your pitch or swing that you would never see with your own eyes.

 This system enables AUBURN coaches to provide customize instruction for our player's by burning a player data CD for your use. Now we can deliver comprising photos, drills, instruction clips, lesson clips, and swings. The question is not what you DO differently from anyone player, but what you DO different from all of these great pitchers and hitters. See the principles that make these players more efficient and more successful. ( more information below ) . Read on if you are a serious player willing to practice daily to reach your goals !!! The team's goals are to learn to play as a team, to be be competitive, win local tournaments, AND TRAVEL OUT OF STATE TO PLAY TOP RATED TOURNAMENTS... THIS IS FOR THE SERIOUS PLAYER WHO WANTS TO PLAY BASEBALL AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL. You will be taught correct baseball fundamentals, strategies of baseball, and functional fitness.

Talk to the elite players and coaches of the game and you will find out just how important these things are to your success in baseball. Coaching is taught with a positive attitude at all times. Baseball is a game of failure and building confidence is the ultimate goal.
                                          

The methods listed below are used by professional coaches and players that I have had the privilege to work with in the past. These are methods used today in the Major League and at Division One Colleges. By no means are these the only methods that work. I will not change anyone's style or method that works for them, but I can let you see the difference between them. 

How can I do this?( read site news) we will be captured on video using  software where your swing and pitching mechanics are matched up to major league all-star players  Albert Pujos, Roger Clemens, Manny Ramirez, Barry Zito, Alex Rodrigez, Randy Johnson, ,Miguel Tejada, Mariano Riviera and David Ortiz plus many more .

This will show you what you are doing with your swing and pitching mechanics compared to the very best. Also, WE will be offering a elite pitching class  starting in the fall and winter. This class can add 5-10 mph to your velocity and improve your location in 8-12 weeks .  Increase your swing up to 10-15 mph in six weeks(60-90 feet farther the ball will travel) and remove wasted movement.

Here is your chance to do just that.  The software (developed by Don Slaugth hitting instructor Detroit Tigers) that captures you next to a major league all-star player. Your swing will be broken down in to 12 steps.  Play with the Titans and you will be captured on your own compact disk to take home and view on your own computer  You will be updated weekly to see your improvement. 

You might be saying I am a good hitter already, what can you teach me?  Ask yourself, do I want to swing like a major- league all star player or contiune to be a good hitter? This is a chance that no other team can offer you for playing with them. My Site News will tell you more about this great hitting tool.

 All major league hitters have their own style at the stance position. What is a high level swing and what does it consist of? No wasted movement, repeatable and consistent. Do you understand pelvic loading and how to make it work? Do you hit with arms or your body? Do you understand posture and how it effects your swing?  When a high-level hitter t front foot touches the ground (knowing as toe touch) they all begin to look the same. Don't believe me? (check the toe-touch picture)  The video camera does not lie. I will capture you right next to a all-star player and show you ( not tell you ) they all look the same from this point on. Getting to that position with no wasted movement is key to your hitting getting to the next level. The Titans can help teach your son how to get to the correct hitting position and learn the importance of using the pelvic area and staying on the same plane as the baseball.

Hitting the ball hard does not mean you have to be 6' 5' and 250 pounds, but it takes practice using methods that work. 100-125 swings a day with intent. It is not magic, it is just a way that works. Here is a two of the problem with hitting (IMP). Bat Drag: bat drag happens when the top hand elbow gets ahead of the top hand. This occurs in the first two or three frames after the top hand elbow has started moving downwards to enforce the ball well the hands remain still. Bat drag causes many problems including dropping the barrel, casting, sweeping to name a few.

Disconnect, disconnection disconnect, disconnection is when the hands (both hands) lose connection to the rotation of the body. " Typically disconnection is described by rotational advocates by the phrase " hands to the ball". To rotational advocates "hands to the ball", means a linear path. But one must be careful as hands of the ball can be achieved while maintaining connection. Typical symptoms are disconnection are a downwards path of the bat head to make contact with the ball. They should not be confused with a downward path at the initiation of the swing which is a natural consequence of the initial rotation of the shoulders.

  FEBRUARY 7 2008, TWO PITCHERS WHO STARTED THE PITCHING PROGRAM WE USE. ONE HAS GONE FROM 69-71 MPH TO 79-82 MPH. THE OTHER PLAYER WENT FROM 74-75 MPH TO 82-84 MPH. THE GOAL FOR THESE TWO IS TO BE THROWING 85 MPH CONSISTENTLY. ASK THESE PLAYERS IF THIS TRAINING WORKS. IT DOES AND IT DOES NOT COST YOU ANYTHING EXTRA.

High-Level Pitching

Can your present team visually compare your pitching mechanics to those of the pro's ? See yourself next to Roger Clemens, Gregg Maddux, Curt Schilling, Jason Schmidt, Tom Glavine, Mark Mulder, Barry Zito, Randy Johnson, Eric Gagne, Kerry Woods and Mariano Riviera.

Pitching is more than just throwing the ball hard, it is a skill which can be mastered and taught. I was fortunate to be associated with Tom House( major league player and coach) and Ron Wolforth( Can-am) plus others high-level coaches . We will be using their proven methods and others from strength training to dynamic balance and late-torso rotation. Nolan Ryan, hall of fame player, credits his longevity to House's program. Division 1 and professional players today use their methods of pitching and functional fitness. Learning how to take care of your arm and preparing your whole body to pitch is just as important as how hard you throw. Most pitchers never reach their full potential, Do to they do not understand how to throw with proper mechanics.  All arm action it's an "acquired" skill. And like almost all arm action results from a trial and error process in which the body attempt to find the most efficient way to achieve the desired goal. I suspect you'll see this in a catcher's snap throw to second base just as often if not more so as you do in a pitcher.\I believe it has to do with doing whatever is necessary to develop a quick arm action/release.Abduction and adduction can start you in the Right direction. If your arm from the shoulder down count for 50% of your velocity how do I get the remaining 50%? The body has 400-500 muscles and you need to learn how to use them. Do you pause at knee lift when you pitch? If you do you have lost momentum.        Mass+Velocity= Momentum/Force. Join this pitching program and you can add velocity to your fastball ( 5 to 10 mph in 8-12 weeks) and more strength to your body, plus better command of your pitches. Your velocity and location will be documented day one and continue to be done Through this exciting program. This way you will have documented proof of your success. On top of that, we will be capturing your delivery using software that will break down your delivery step by step.  As they say, a pitcher is only one throw away from never pitching again. You must be willing to work out three to four days a week for a hour and a half using tubing, weights, medicine balls, weighted balls, incline beams and k-boards. It is not magic, just a  way that works.

            High-Level Throwing


                                                           
                        
           Do you know the right way to throw? Do you pull your glove back or just throw it to the side? Where is your head located when you throw the ball? What kind of footwork do you use? Does your ball tail off to one side? Go on the INTERNET and look how to throw a baseball. Everyone teaches how to pitch, but when it comes to throwing you most likely pick up a ball and toss it. The body has close to 400-500 muscles and use them right is the key. It starts with understanding how the body works and why. Then you can use a method called backward chaining to teach your body how to throw. We can show you how you can become better at throwing the ball with less force on your shoulder and arm. No it is not magic, it's just a proven way that works. Watch a major league game and look at what they do. Slow the game down and see the scapula and elbow work together and the arm becomes a whip.Why do you think there are so many father/son players who have played major league ball? Because they were all taught the right way.
