This is The Baseball Union

We don't just make great gear. We live, love and play the game. Players share a common bond that goes beyond what happened in our last game or tournament. It goes beyond our last time in the box or on the bump. Baseball courses through our veins. The crack of the bat, the smell of freshly mown grass, and the dirt on our cleats—these are the elements that define our game and shape the values of our company.

  • Repeat this for 10-15 reps.

Rotation throws:

  • You will need to face sideways with your throwing arm being closest to the surface you are throwing to.
  • You will then proceed to rotate towards the surface so your chest is completely facing it and throw the ball into the surface when your are in the that position.
  • Repeat this for 10-15 reps.

Step back throws:

  • Face away from the surface you are throwing into.
  • You will then take a step back with the foot that is the same side as your throwing arm.
  • After that, you will rotate your glove side and step with your other foot to get into a throwing position and throw the ball into the surface.
  • This will be a continuous motion and do 10-15 reps.
