⁠
Peak: Has any one of your 5 tools (hitting, throwing, catching, etc.) improved as a result of Pilates?⁠
Scott: I would certainly say that Pilates has helped me with my pitching mechanics. Being able to use my core and hips more efficiently has allowed me to make my pitching motion much more repeatable and has helped me create more drive down the mound.⁠
⁠
Peak: What is the most challenging part of Pilates for you (i.e. flexibility, balance, Ab Series)?⁠
Scott: It’s all challenging, but if I had to pick just one, any of the isolated ab exercises always give me the hardest time!⁠
⁠
Peak: Do you recommend Pilates to your teammates?⁠
Scott: Without a doubt! I am always encouraging my teammates to try Pilates for certain things that may be bothering them, and try to seek out guys who already use reformers regularly to discuss the thought process behind it.⁠

An increased number of athletes are incorporating Pilates into both their in-season and post season exercise routines.⁠
