Integrative Baseball PerformanceTraining Framework

Strength

Eight movement patterns, five tiers each, earned through a check you can run on yourself.

Cardio

Conditioning that matches the demands of the game, not someone else's sport.

Recovery

What you do between sessions decides what the sessions are worth.

Breathing

The cheapest way to change position, tension and heart rate on demand.

Mindset

Routines that hold up when the game speeds up.

Vision

Seeing the pitch earlier is a trainable skill.

Hitting

Swing work built on the positions the strength work makes available.

Pitching

Throwing volume, arm care and mechanics treated as one budget.

Baseball IQ

Knowing the play before the ball is hit.


Creator &Coach

Bret Al-Imari, founder of Method19

Bret Al-Imari, PhD

CSCS, PES, CES

Bret was born and raised in the mountains of Northern Utah. He excelled as a baseball player and was a top prospect coming out of high school.

As a catcher, he had a sub 1.6 pop time and launched multiple home runs beyond 500 feet. Bret endured several setbacks and injuries in his playing career, but that made it so that the Method19 Training Framework has been able to positively influence the careers of so many other baseball players.

Bret is an expert in exercise physiology (performance enhancement & corrective exercise), cognition/behavior/neuroscience, and baseball skill development & game strategy.

For the past 16 years, Bret has quietly served as a coach and advisor to some of the world's top baseball players, strength and performance coaches, and organizations.

What's included thatMakes You Better

Every pattern has a ladder of five tiers. You move up when you pass a check you can run on yourself — no coach required, no guessing. Pass it twice and the next tier unlocks. Fail it and you drop back, which is normal and happens to everyone.
