“Players from the Florida Marlins, San Diego Padres, Arizona Diamondbacks and Milwaukee Brewers (to name just a few) have all benefited from training on the 8board.  I also have pitchers stand on one leg and go through their pitching motion. Balance and stabilization are key components of this exercise.”

“The 8board is great, the way it ties your hips and your shoulders together where everything works in a proper chain. It makes you become more efficient, more powerful. 8board really helped me develop more speed towards the plate.”

—Matt Whiteside
Former San Diego Padres Pitcher

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

BASEBALL: Play the 8 Way



From pitching warm up to hitting practice, the 8board bats 1000.

From Major League to Little League, players of all abilities must master the universal arcing, twisting and extending motions used in throwing and hitting a baseball.

Standing on the 8board, baseball players can simulate hitting and throwing motion while engaging in a low impact warm up of the lower body. This provides a whole-body warm up rather than just warming up one body part at a time.

Active whole-body warm up is useful in injury prevention. For example, the 8board movement system teaches players to engage the whole body when throwing, thus helping pitchers avoid throwing their pitching arm out.

Players also use the 8board to practice swinging a bat or hitting small objects with a stick. After being on the double-swiveling 8board, any batter will step into the batter’s box more confidently. S/he can meet any pitch, trusting his or her body core to swivel intuitively as it has been trained by the 8board movement system.
