Increase Bat Speed and Hand Strength

The late Joe Tanner was an old-school coach who came up in baseball during the 1950s. Back then training aids were not nearly as available and players used creativity to increase their hand strength. As a kid growing up playing baseball myself, Joe (my grandfather) stressed the importance of hand strength to generate bat head speed. Admittedly, the baseball players of Joe’s era didn't face the same level of pitching (mainly talking about MPH here), nor were they collectively as strong of athletes as what we have today. That’s no dig to their skill as professionals; it’s simply a result of modern-day exercise and physiology combined with human bio-mechanics understanding. Athletes in 2014 can get faster, bigger, and stronger with strength routines designed by exercise professionals with eight years of college and a lot of science to back their programs.
