⁃ 5.6 average velocity jump (highest velocity increase has been 11.2 mph)
⁃ 500 RPMS average in spin rate
⁃ 19 College commits out of Strike Throwing Programs in 4 years

Our goal is to help athletes understand the adjustments they need to make in the offseason to reach their full potential. With a smaller group size, we ensure a hands-on approach and individualized focus throughout the program. This allows for in-depth engagement with each athlete, ensuring they understand their personalized program and goals.

The “Volume Over Velocity” approach for pitchers emphasizes a holistic development strategy that prioritizes consistent throwing volume, mechanical efficiency, and overall arm health. By focusing on the interconnected elements of intensity, plyometric training,throwing progressions, and overall body movements, you can achieve maximum velocity with command and consistency.

🚨 Sign ups open tomorrow for both locations 🚨

Pretty cool day at Cage 52.

With all the smoke shutting things down outside, the West Michigan Whitecaps came in to get their bullpen work done. We really appreciate them choosing our place when they need somewhere to keep working.

I got to sit in on a few bullpens, watch the catchers do their work, and talk some baseball with the manager Rene Rivera and pitching coach Dan Ricabal. Thanks for letting me hang around and learn a little.

We think it’s pretty cool that Cage 52 can be a place players at every level trust when they need to get their work in.

Thanks again, and good luck the rest of the season!

PRIVATE TRYOUTS | CAGE 52 BASEBALL

The baseball world has become obsessed with one thing…

Getting kids to commit as early as possible.

We’re not playing that game.

At Cage 52, we think forcing families to make decisions before seasons are over is backwards! Players should be focused on competing for the team they’re on—not worrying about where they’ll play next year.

We’re not interested in winning the race to collect commitments.

We’re interested in finding the right players.
The ones who embrace failure, crave coaching, and are addicted to the process of getting better.

Here’s our stance:
If you’re happy where you are… stay there.
If another organization is the best fit for your family… that’s a good thing.
Every player deserves the opportunity to find the coach, culture, and environment that fits them best.

We’re not trying to be for everyone.

We’re building something different.

We’re doing things differently.

Cage 52 will be holding private tryouts for athletes who are serious about competing, developing, and embracing the process of becoming the best version of themselves.

We’re not looking for everyone.

We’re looking for players who:
⚾ Love the game.
⚾ Love the grind.
⚾ Show up when nobody is watching.
⚾ Want coaching, accountability, and real development.

Here’s what we won’t do:

We won’t pressure families into making an early decision before their current season is over. Players deserve the opportunity to finish what they started, enjoy their season, and explore every option before committing to a team.

Every family should have the freedom to find the organization and coaching staff that’s the best fit for them. That’s how it should be. This should be the standard…….

When our current teams finish their season and other organizations have already held their tryouts, we’ll still be looking for the right players—not just available players.

If you believe you have what it takes to wear a Cage 52 uniform, let us know you’re interested. We’ll schedule a private evaluation, and if we believe you’re the right fit for our culture and our standards, we’ll invite you to join.

We’re building competitors.

Not just another team.

🚨ALERT🚨

Only 10 spots left at one of our biggest camps of the year!

🔥Heat Update 🔥

After today’s continued heat, we had one of our players stop by Cage 52 this afternoon to give us a full report on the conditions inside the facility. As you can see from the image above, it’s already extremely hot—and temperatures will only get worse.

The safety our athletes, families, and trainers will always come first. While we love getting in the work, and grinding, it’s simply isn’t safe or productive at this point.

Because of the continued extreme heat, Cage 52 will remain closed today. We will be reaching out to everyone with scheduled lessons to get them rescheduled as quickly as possible.

We appreciate everyone’s patience and understanding. Stay cool, stay hydrated, and we’ll be back as soon as the weather allows for a safe training environment.

🔥Heat Alert🔥

Hi Cage 52 families — due to the extreme heat and humidity, we will be closing Cage 52 today at 12:00 PM.

Conditions inside the facility are already becoming uncomfortable and are expected to worsen throughout the day. Without air conditioning and being in an enclosed space, we want to prioritize the health and well-being of both our athletes and trainers.

Our goal at Cage 52 is always to create an environment where athletes can have fun, train hard, and continue developing — and that’s difficult to do safely in 90°+ indoor conditions.

We will be reaching out to all lessons scheduled for today to coordinate rescheduling.

Thank you for your understanding, and please stay cool and safe in the heat.
