  • The Arroyo Update…. “Tightening Up”

    Dsc_0030
    He’s one of the hottest pitchers in MLB right now…. Cincinnati Reds pitcher, Bronson Arroyo is 9-3 in his last 12 starts. Oh and by the way, he steals bases Pete Rose style with head-first slide technique and he can come up with a bases loaded double when needed, too. That’s Reds Strength & Conditioning Coordinator Matt Krause supervising one of Arroyo’s day-before-game "tightening program workouts" that took place at The Workout @ Covington…… keep up the great work guys!
    Here’s a link to our Youtube with Bronson and Matt Krause. And here’s one that’s more specific to the "tightening program".
    In other news, some ASAP trainees who now play for the Ohio State Buckeyes, had good opening game performances at the giant horseshoe in Columbus (trainees not named due to NCAA regulations).

    ARROYO NAMED N.L. CO-PLAYER OF THE WEEK

    Reds starting pitcher Bronson Arroyo has been named National League Co-Player of the Week for the period of August 25-31, 2008.


    Arroyo led the N.L. with 16.0 innings pitched en route to his 2-0
    record, which included a complete game. The 31-year-old right-hander
    posted a 1.69 ERA, allowing three runs and two walks while fanning
    eight. On August 26th at Houston, Bronson (13-10, 4.97 ERA) became the
    first Reds pitcher to throw a complete game this season, permitting one
    run on five hits with three strikeouts. This marks Arroyo’s first
    career weekly award honor. Read More [+]
