This logo represents the evolution of our program. What started as a pitcher-focused academy has now grown into a program dedicated to developing complete baseball players at every position. To all of the parents and athletes interested in joining, please be advised that we’ve received a high volume of inquiries recently. I will always prioritize the players who have trusted me and been putting in the work with me over time. If you’re interested in becoming part of the Polanco Baseball Academy family, I encourage you to secure your spot as soon as possible to avoid any misunderstandings regarding availability. With the increase in session requests, we will also begin strictly enforcing our waiver form and academy policies. Cancellations made with less than 24 hours’ notice will count as a missed session. While I will always try my best to reschedule when possible, I cannot make any promises. It isn’t fair to push back 5–6 athletes who have committed to their scheduled times because of a last-minute cancellation. Thank you to everyone who continues to support and believe in the vision. The work is just getting started. Great night everyone. Coach Lu ⚾️💪🏽 taken in Englewood, New Jersey by @polanco_academy

Full-body lift after our bullpens! ⚾️💪 Keeping it simple with bilateral and unilateral movements to build strength, improve stability, and keep our guys healthy throughout the fall. Still got a lot to work on! There’s a HUGE difference between lifting weights and TRAINING. When you’re just lifting weights, you’re going through the motions. No real purpose, bad repetitions, no control, and no goal behind what you’re doing. When you’re TRAINING, there’s intent and focus behind EVERY rep. You’re preparing yourself to go to war later in the week, identifying weaknesses in your body, and figuring out what needs to be addressed in future training sessions. Don’t just lift to lift. Train with a PURPOSE! If you don’t know where to start, shoot us a DM! We can help you take your game to the next level! #BaseballTraining #PitcherDevelopment #StrengthAndConditioning #CollegeBaseball #TrainWithPurpose taken in Bergen Community College by @polanco_academy

Right above is an arm care circuit where we go through a bunch of different exercises using just two 5 oz baseballs. I like these types of drills because you don’t always have to stick to the same band routine every day to get quality arm care work in. Using the baseballs also challenges grip strength, and because the weight is so light, we can work for longer periods of time. This helps build endurance in both the anterior and posterior muscles surrounding the shoulder and arm!

Lateral Pogo Hops ⚡️ 1️⃣ Lateral pogo hops — both feet 2️⃣ Lateral pogo hops — right foot 3️⃣ Lateral pogo hops — left foot Once I call out a number, Adrian immediately follows through with that variation. A great reactive drill to activate the lower half, improve foot/ankle stiffness, balance, coordination, and quickness off the ground. Great way to get the body ready for explosive movement prior to a training session with Coach Lu! - - - #baseball #fyp #coach #pogo taken in Englewood, New Jersey by @polanco_academy

High Hold → High Knees ⚡️ Starting with a controlled high-knee hold, then transitioning straight into quick high knees. I like this movement with Adrian because it gets his core and hip flexors activated, while the high knees force him to move quickly off the ground and stay reactive. It also helps bring his heart rate up and prepares his body for the work prior to the session. - - - #baseball #warmup #fyp #coach taken in Englewood, New Jersey by @polanco_academy

Being able to warm up your ankles and move them quickly throughout your warmup will set you up for success. As a pitcher, your ability to quickly put energy into the ground and efficiently get it back out is key to creating force and moving athletically on the mound. We can progress these movements by increasing the speed or adding a resistance band to involve more musculature. But because this is a warmup, the goal was simple: fire up the body, move with intent, and get ready for the session. - - - - #baseball #plyometricstraining #pitcher taken in Paramus Catholic High School by @polanco_academy

Preparing Jeremiah for his outing the following day ⚾️ Today we focused on getting his body ready to perform. We worked on Pallof presses, shoulder stabilization and control, weighted sit-ups to improve core balance and strength, along with a lot more. We also added sprints, lateral hops, broad jumps, and other explosive movements to help improve athleticism, power, and overall movement. Everything we do has a purpose, preparing athletes to move better, feel stronger, and perform when it matters. ⚾️ - - #fyp #baseball #training #pitchers #mlb taken in Englewood, New Jersey by @polanco_academy

10-minute band routine for all my athletes! 💪 1–2 rounds of everything and get that band work in. Don’t skip the little things they’re what keep you healthy, moving well, and performing at your best. 🔥 #BaseballTraining #ArmCare #TrainSmart taken in New York, New York by @polanco_academy
