Guided, progressive and system-based training
for a clear path toward your baseball goals.

Since high school I've been able to fall back and rely on Method19 as a single source of truth when it comes to all aspects of the game. If you want to unlock your full potential then its time to make it yours as well. There's a lot of good coaches and programs out there. However, they're often interpretting data because people think its important to the modern game. It is, but if the interpretation is wrong or doesn't make the athlete better is it actually valuable. Method19 provides the foundational tools to improve without complicating things.

This training just makes sense. We are trying to compete at a time when everyone is complicating things and looking at more and more data. Method19 is grounded and works. It cuts out the noise and does one thing, it makes you better. As a pitcher I needed to long toss and get physically healthy which meant breathing properly, eliminating torso weight, and improving heart health. Those pillars improve my game and no one else was building those areas.

The training and influence of Bret and Method19 helped me level up my game in preparation for my Senior year of high school and was instrumental in me being drafted in the 1st Round. Moreover, the things I've learned have continually influenced my career. Whenever I've gotten off-track or taken misguided advice I come back to Method19 and find my way.

I've followed Method19 for four off-season and seasons during my career. It has led to my most productive and injury free seasons. It can be challenging to follow an advisor led program instead of something created by a team staffer. Each time I've followed the organization plan I've regretted it and it always leads me back to Method19 where I'm able to simplify things and become healthy and productive again. Not only is the strength training and cardio programming the best available. Method19 uses balance and breathing and other modalities that no one else even considers and they complete the puzzle. Use Method19 as consistently and for as long as you can.

In 2011 I had a productive year but I wasn't realizing my potential. I was bigger and stronger than I'd ever been. I found Bret and Method19 and he coached me into my personal performance sweet spot which meant I lost around 20lbs of hard-earned muscle and ended up at 212 lbs. I was worried but I must admit that I felt fantastic. Everything was easier not carrying around all that extra muscle and all of my statistical numbers improved and I had the best year of my career. I learned throughout my career that analytics are beneficial but better analytics doesn't always translate to better performance. My strength numbers and average exit velocity dropped but my power and speed increased. Each new strength coach wanted more and more strength and weight but it always lead to decreased outcomes. Bret helped me understand and train in a way that improved my game outcomes and not merely my testing numbers. Listen to Bret and ignore the rest.
