Core and Cuff Program
The Core and Cuff Program focuses on strengthening the primary muscles of the rotator cuff working on strength and endurance of muscles, and the scapula stabilizer helps give the shoulder girdle a strong foundation to work from. The last component is the core trunk muscles, which transfer the power from the legs and trunk to the arm to help improve bat and arm velocity and help prevent injuries.
