Ragin Cages trains athletes of all ages and skills. Med Ball training to connect the upper half and lower half of the body is crucial to pitching and hitting. Schedule your session today to work this crucial aspect of performance!

Levi Webber getting in some towel work mixed with a timing drill we like to do here at Mounds! Goal here is to stay back and feel the timing of my upper half link up with the lower half. #COMPETE https://t.co/t0WHsmsjUj

Notre Dame High School’s Dom Thibodeaux perfecting his curveball. Good hard working senior who spots up every pitch. A lot of potential! #COMPETE #hammertime

We utilize the Edgertronic M1 Highspeed camera paired with the Trackman system to deliver the most efficient training possible. For an athlete to clearly see measurable CAUSE and EFFECT of what is occurring on the mound is invaluable!

Happy second Heavenly Birthday pops!! I sure do miss you and can’t wait to see you again! I got a lot of stuff to tell you!

[Ragin Cages @RaginCages]

We know we hadn’t posted drills or a wisdom Wednesday in a few weeks, so we wanted to just give everyone a little update and let y’all know we are continuing to work while we wait and have exciting news coming across the street! Stayed tuned to find out what’s in store!

[Ragin Cages @RaginCages]

In today's #WisdomWednesday, Coach Austin talks about the Difficulty of Hitting and Offsetting that Difficulty. Everyone gets frustrated when it comes to hitting and they don't fully understand how hard of an action it is! We have to be mentally strong! https://t.co/wJ3r5KkMBc

[Ragin Cages @RaginCages]

Andrew Stevenson, Hayden Cantrelle, Orynn Veillon and Chase Vallot hit live against Hogan Harris. Make sure to watch until the end to see that they are grown men getting work in, at the same time they are kids at heart! This is a kids sport and we need to remember to have fun!

[Ragin Cages @RaginCages]

Drill: First Step
Purpose: Taking the best possible route to the baseball.

We need to take the best possible route in order to give ourselves a chance to catch the baseball! https://t.co/lvEHlMObTh

[Ragin Cages @RaginCages]

In today's #WisdomWednesday, Coach Austin talks about the deficiencies in the youth model today. We have to start teaching the right things the correct way from an early age, so our youth can be prepared for life after baseball! https://t.co/qMk5oAVkXe

[Ragin Cages @RaginCages]

Drill: Visual plane drill.
Purpose: Learning to see the plane that the ball is coming in on, and matching it.

This drill is a great visual drill for the kid who is struggling to see that plane and can't match it! It's also pretty fun as well! https://t.co/yvlCDkc5Zu

[Ragin Cages @RaginCages]

Drill: 50-50 Drill
Purpose: Becoming a "Yes" hitter

We need to have a yes hitter mentality and learn how to be aggressive! You should not go up to the plate and decide to swing last second. Stay in attack mode and learn to adjust! https://t.co/B7LNovKr0G

[Ragin Cages @RaginCages]

Today is our first #WisdomWednesday! Coach Austin will bring wisdom about a topic that he is passionate about every Wednesday with the drills being posted Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday. We hope everyone enjoys!

Topic: The four seam fastball https://t.co/ypcyLRaucC

[Ragin Cages @RaginCages]

Drill: Hershiser Drill/Wall Drill
Purpose: To feel that front hip lead down the mound

This is a great isometric drill for the kids who have trouble feeling that front hip lead down the mound! We want that to drive us forward and not our entire body! https://t.co/QtgYtYz8q5

[Ragin Cages @RaginCages]

Drill: bare handed drills
Purpose: To learn to use the hands correctly before you put on a glove

We need to learn how to use the hands properly before you go and slap a 12in glove on your son and expect him to start fielding like an all-star!

[Ragin Cages @RaginCages]

Top 5 drills to help youth catchers become better receivers! We see a lot of youth catchers today that bring the ball down into the dirt as they receive it, and as a result, the pitcher will not get that call! https://t.co/P9NQadT0jB
