Which thread Jon?
Maxx,
This one. It's a simple GPP circuit, but the results are truly great.
Work up to 25-30 minutes and conditioning will NEVER be a problem.

This might be more apropriate for the pitching section... but could apply to multiple sections so I'll put it in here.
What would be some differences between a LT program for a pitcher and a MIF or OF...etc? Not necessarily to improve arm strength but to get in "baseball shape".

No significance....I just liked the way they look.
Ive been playing Basketball in my off season... Its a mix long distand and sprinting. And ive dropped nearly 2 seconds off my 60's
Jon,
Can't find the link to GPP. I am interested, please let me know! Ok, here is my son's off-season program if you can give me feedback.. I very much respect your knowledge on this subject:
SUN==4.5 Hrs. (2 Hrs Team 1, 2Hrs Team 2): Throwing, bullpen, Hitting, Defense, 1 Hour Core Work (College Coaches program.. a lot of crunches, jumping, jacks, wall-sitting, sprinting, plyometrics, tons of core!, etc.) Home: Cannon-Arm Conditioning and Band Work. Very little running.
MON: OFF
TUE==2.5 Hrs.: After-school weight lifting and running (2-3 miles?) (2 Hrs). Throwing w/brother (1/2 hr). Home: Cannon-Arm Conditioning and Band Work.
WED==2.5 Hrs.: Team 1 Program (College Coaches) (2 Hrs). Throwing, bullpen, crunches, jumping jacks, plyometrics, tons of core! Very Little Throwing. Home: Cannon Arm conditioning and Band Work. Very little running.
THUR==2.5 Hrs.: After-school weight lifting and running (2-3 miles?) (2 Hrs). Throwing w/brother (1/2 hr). Home: Cannon-Arm Conditioning and Band Work.
FRI==1.5 Hrs.: Gym weight lifting, running 2+ miles, long-tossing against racquetball court wall.
SAT: OFF
He takes Whey AM, creatine PM. He has been long-tossing year-round since age 12. His SPARQ score in the Jr. Fall Classic in October was 61.32 (top 13% of athletes there.. he was #5 overall in the shuttle run of over 400 athletes!). His bodyfat is 6-7%. He is a LHP 16 y.o. who was clocked at 81 on the Stalker in November. Never has had an arm problem, is 5'9" 160 lbs., beefy legs, goes deep into games and rarely tires, pitched 155 innings last year and went 18-5 in 2006.
In Late January, add in AM Tue-Thur Hitting and Pitching Mechanic lessons offered by the school
Any adjustments?

Bum,
The GPP routine is in this thread.
As far as your son's program goes I do have to say he's sure putting the time in. Tell him to keep up the great work.
It's hard to judge specifically what he should/shouldn't do as I cannot see/test him.
What I suggest you pay attention to are his energy levels from day to day, week to week, etc. In addition, pay close attention to any aches and pains he may have. Really tell him to learn his body and how different things effect him. This way he will know when he can turn it up and when he has to turn it down a bit. The great ones all know how to do this.
As long as he continues to develop this program is fine. Looks like he is built well (and will prob fill into a 180-190 physique when its all said and done) and his performance is good.
If you want you can post more specifics from Coaches program and weight training sessions I will critique further.

Thanks, Jon
Once the season starts he practices daily so except for band and core and some light weight-lifting I have him back off.
I think a few weeks before season starts I'll give him an energy boost by scaling back to 60-70% for 2 weeks.
Thanks again.

Bum,
No problem. I saw in an earlier post of yours you mentioned biking.
Be VERY careful with biking as a conditioning tool. It can severely decrease hip range of motion and hamstring flexibility. Most bikers can barely touch their toes when standing and their hamstring flexibility is downright brutal.
Hip ROM in baseball players is extremely important and one of the most under-rated, overlooked aspects of training. So be sure to make Hip ROM a priority and biking can restrict that.

Mr. Doyle,
What type of things promote hip range of motion?

I'm not Jon Doyle but I have a couple suggestions. Plyometrics done properly and hurdle workouts can be very beneficial for hip ROM. Since hurdle workouts I've definitely improved my hip ROM and flexibility.
Hurdles are tremendous...EVERY baseball player, and athlete, should do them daily.
In addition tumbling, movement prep and specific weight training exercises such as the overheat squat promote hip ROM.
Jsorb, which plyo's do you use for hip ROM?

I just do really basic stuff...box jumps to various heights (high knees), split jumps, etc. The hurdles have helped me the most though.
Yeah Hurdles are really great...continue to challenge yourself on them...get lower (and higher depening on the drill) than you think you can. It will really pay off.
