Apex In-Season Training Program is designed to instruct athletes on the desired training regiment to properly recover, maintain, and strengthen the arm and body throughout the course of your season.
The Apex In-Season Training Program will give your player a ‘1-stop’ shop of preparedness. Each player will receive a daily program to give him direction, whether within the Apex program or outside, so he knows exactly what to do on a daily basis.

APEX PROGRAM STAFF
Danny Borrell boasts more than 20 years of playing and coaching experience both at the collegiate and professional levels. Through his experiences as a Professional pitcher and Pitching Coordinator with the New York Yankees, he has designed a program that IS the answer to one of the biggest issues currently seen by all ages of pitchers: How to properly develop a weekly routine that zeroes in on the individual needs of a pitcher. “How often do I need to throw?” “At what intent do I need to throw on a daily basis?” “What upper half and lower half workouts do I perform and when?” “What type of arm care exercises do I perform?” “How do I improve my Range of Motion?” “How do I increase power output?” “What types of Core and Conditioning exercises do I need?” Proper arm and body workouts are paramount in the ultimate development of an athlete.

Keith Borger
My name is Keith Borger, and I’m a physical therapist specializing in the treatment of baseball athletes. I’m partnering with the APEX arm care program to ensure your athlete’s safety and progress throughout the program. Here's what I’ll be providing:
- Initial Assessment:
- OnBaseU screen: A series of tests that help identify physical limitations (flexibility, strength, coordination) that may be affecting a baseball pitcher’s performance.
- Strength assessment: Using a device to measure key shoulder muscles that help keep the arm safe.
- Monitoring Progress: Periodic reassessments of the OnBaseU and strength screens to ensure improvement and confirm your athlete is on track.
- Open Office Hours: Time to ask health-related questions or provide a quick consultation if concerns or injuries arise."
