talking with a hitter about the pelvis and how the rotation of the pelvis impacts bat path during one of our recent hitting groups. Feedback like this is where we are able to make our training holistic by collaborating with our in-house Strength coaches.
Baseball is the toughest game on earth, yet the common protocols & strategies being taught to players for development are controlled & predictable.
This sport is anything but predictable.
The future of growth & on-field performance is here, & it runs through the Battleground…
Read this quote the other day...
"The best coaches treat every athlete like they could become the GOAT."

Traditional lessons have little in game transfer, creating baseball development robots.
Training protocols must prioritize game performance or else you're simply training for the next lesson.
Players are a product of their training environment...
So let's give them a good one.
Sean Lubin is a lead staff member both of the Pittsburgh Spikes and the Battleground facility. His years of playing college baseball at LaRoche translated into positions there as Hitting Coordinator, Recruiter, Assistant Coach, and Head Coach.
20K sqf indoor facility includes a full size HS turf infield, up to 7 batting cages, multiple pitching tunnels, and a 2k sqf Strength and Movement gym. 60 days and counting.

with a hitter about how the pelvis should work down into the ground and then back up through contact 2 create proper sequencing & bat path.
Thanks 2 our partnership with
@upliftlabs
we are measuring, not guessing, when creating development plans with our hitters.
Taking the field with your classmates and representing your school and community in the Spring is an honor filled with lifetime memories. Our guys have busted their tails this fall and winter. MS and HS tryouts start tomorrow! Good luck boys!!
The Battleground Baseaball facility runs under the guidance and direction of Chase Rowe, former minor league hitting coach, and one of the youngest college coaches in the NCAA. Chase's vision and role in changing the trajectory of youth sports has solidified his reputation.
Battleground Strength and Movement Trainer Tanner Wilt signed a professional contract this week with the Long Island Ducks of the Atlantic League. Good luck Tanner!
The weight room in Battleground is led by Joey Professori, former assistant baseball coach at LaRoche College. Joey specializes in functional movement literacy for baseball and softball athletes, as well as training for youth hitting and catching.
These are just some of schools our High School guys are headed to in next 2-3 years. Workout with them and others at BG in Jan. Visit our web site for details.
Baseball & Softball are more challenging than any sport, & yet how difficult are the practices & reps that players go through daily?
Battleground is devoted to immersing athletes in an environment that is focused on 2 things:
1. On-Field Performance
2. Player Growth
Period.
Our guy Chase Rowe and
@LaRocheBaseball

4th in ERA & WHIP
6th in Slugging, 12th in on base, 7th in doubles, and 16th in runs scored per game (9.8)
4th in fielding percent (only 15 errors)
Battleground will prioritize consistent player development within the context of competition. That process begins with these player plans because to truly grow you need a clear plan that all parties understand and can openly communicate about. Battleground is ready to guide you.

Nolan absolutely shoved on the mound during his 2 innings. Racking up Multiple K’s. FB has some HVY ASR, SL plays off the fastball, is tight/can spot to outside corner easily.
FB: 89-92(T93)(2270🔄; 12.1 HM)
At Battleground training is not based solely on tech, tech is a tool for evaluation, a teaching tool for communication between athlete and coach, we DO NOT coach to tech. The game is 90% mental!
Coaches lift on our brand new
@perchFit
system. Technology that uses velocity to determine loads to optimize and individualize workouts. Can’t wait for today’s strength and movement groups to incorporate in their customized plans. Every rep is focused and has purpose.

Players from these organizations are working hard daily on their craft at Battleground. Spring Training......Pitchers and Catchers report in just 39 days.
Battleground is not solely crafted for baseball.
Softball players need an environment devoted to athlete development, and have their practice translate to on field performance too!
Softball hitting and community team group training will be fully available at BBG.

barreled balls all spring and summer on the diamond, QB1 in the Fall, and an all section wrestler in the winter. Very rare 6A 3-sport stud in day and age of specialized athletes.
Butler quarterback Cooper Baxter threw for 134 yards and a touchdown, rushed for 130 and three scores Friday night as the Golden Tornado defeated Meadville, 27-13 last night.

is pitching in the Diamond Bracket of the Cincy TOC. Facing a loaded 2022 line up with 9 D1 commits. Couple Ks, ton of ground outs, only 1 XBH. Heading to the 6th. Battleground Bulldog!
Every journey through sports is unique!
As parents, it’s natural to seek advice, but why rely solely on anecdotes when you can trust the expertise of seasoned professionals?
Our dedicated staff is here to guide you through every twist and turn on your path!
WEAK MINDS DON’T SURVIVE
U may possess 5 physical tools the game drools over, BUT if you don’t possess the 6th tool (btw ur ears) ur time in the game will end sooner than later
Many lesser toolsy guys possessing superior mental makeup have/will play longer then the showcase stud
Quick shout out to all of our parents! None of this is possible without you!
