ESPN.com on Trevor Bauer

"Bauer performs a long toss in the outfield shortly before his starts, can be seen stretching with a javelin-like device in the bullpen ... "

Yes, that "javelin-like" device is the shoulder tube that we use. Trevor Bauer, the NCAA strikeout leader, is now in the CWS final series vs. South Carolina. What do both Bauer and the Carolina teams have in common? Both have been influence by Ron Wolforth and the Texas Baseball Ranch.

The entire SEC has bought into training explosiveness and its member teams are employing Coach Wolforth's methods in one form or another. As for Bauer, he has trained at the ranch for years, yes, coming all the way to Magnolia, Texas from California.

We've been doing our share here, as well ... in our stretching, training, bullpens, ladders, sprinting instead of long-distance running, long-toss, developing athleticism, etc., etc.

So ... maybe we are primed for a World Series run of our own ...


See you on the field,

Coach Rut
