The Power Position Sliders Drill is a great way for baseball players to focus on balance and stability. By building strength in the hips on an inverted single leg position, young baseball players will develop an increase in pitching velocity and accuracy. With consistent training baseball players will improve their delivery leading to more accurate throwing and consistent baseball delivery. To complete this drill baseball players will utilize two speed and agility cones to help with spacing and leg drive distance. Next you will strap on your leg resistance bands, kbands, and work through each lateral jump. As you land at the opposite side of the drill you will raise your inside leg challenging your balance and stability. The leg height can alter distances. More advanced baseball players should be able to raise their leg above belt height. Baseball players that are just beginning should strive to raise their leg to a minimum of belt height. 

Drive off each leg reaching for max distance and push through the resisted sets. After 5 to 6 resisted sets you will then move into one un-resisted set.

This is a great youth pitching drill. Youth athletes will benefit because it takes the throwing motion out of the leg drive stage. Athletes will focus on driving and developing power through their legs without worrying about where the baseball goes each individual throw. Utilize this youth pitching drill a couple times a week and you'll see balance and stability improved greatly.
