The Players

“Working with Alan the eight years has made my arm very strong, durable and flexible and that's something every pitcher wants and looks for...long toss is definitely the biggest part of my game.”

Barry Zito, Pitcher, San Francisco Giants

“The Jaeger Sports Training Program has helped me improve the health and strength of my arm...and the mental training helps you relax and have a clear mind. The whole program is great...from the j-bands to the mental training.”

Joel Zumaya, Pitcher, Detroit Tigers

“We would go out to Pierce Junior College and long toss and just have a good throw - I still do that in between starts and even before I start. I've taken this program and molded it into my own and still use it to this day.”

Dan Haren, Pitcher, Arizona Diamondbacks

“I recommend Alan's program to anybody who is dedicated to the sport of baseball and is interested in having a long and healthy career.”

Mike Lieberthal, Catcher, Los Angeles Dodgers

“I've been using the J-Bands since 2003 and now it only takes me a few minutes to get my shoulder muscles warmed up. As a result, my arm feels stronger and it doesn't get as fatigued.”

Aaron Harang, Pitcher, Cincinnati Reds

“For me, doing the Jaeger Pro Camp helped my mind, helped me be more relaxed, and the J Band work and Long Toss made my arm feel strong every time I threw. I recommend this program to anyone.”

Colin Balester, Pitcher, Washington Nationals

“The J-Band is a great tool for building and maintaining arm strength through the duration of a long season. I have been using the J-Band for the past three seasons, and have noticed a significant difference in my velocity and arm strength. I also notice the difference going in to the later months of a season, as my velocity has not dropped from the beginning of the season.”

Clayton Kershaw, Pitcher, Los Angeles Dodgers

“This camp will have an everlasting affect on me both as a player and a person.”

Jeff Rapoport, Outfielder, UCLA

“I was struggling a little with my focus on being consistent with every pitch and every hitter. I started to listen to the Jaeger Sports Mental Training CD to get the focus I needed. I have started listening to it every night before I go to bed and before I go out and pitch. I have seen a big improvement on my consistency with my pitches and my walk numbers going down.”

Jo Jo Reyes, Pitcher, Atlanta Braves

“Because I long tossed (as far as 350 feet) and did my j-bands religiously I topped out at 98 mph in my first high school start this year. It's a package deal...you can't do one without the other. Now I know how to maintain the health of my arm and my velocity.”

Mark Rogers, Pitcher, Milwaukee Brewers, 2004 1st Round Draft Pick

“All around, my arm is 100% stronger from doing the arm circles and J-Bands — I don't know anything else that makes your arm stronger than long toss.”

Trevor Bell, Pitcher, Anaheim Angels, 2005 1st Round Draft Pick

“Before starting the Jaeger program, I wasn't religious with any pre-game warmup or throwing program. Since starting the program in the summer of 2004, my arm has never felt better. After only a few weeks I saw and felt the difference. My arm consistently felt great, and I was always eager to throw. My 2006 season was my best statistically, physically, and mentally. My daily use with the J-Bands had my arm feeling great before and after my start. Another great part of the Jaeger Baseball program that has helped my game is their mental training book, "Getting Focused, Staying Focused." I read through this book regularly, and it has greatly strengthened my mental part of the game. I highly recommend the entire Jaeger program for anyone interested in having a successful and healthy career.”

Clayton Tanner, De La Salle High School, 2006 3rd Round Draft Pick, San Francisco Giants

“Jaeger Sports arm band program is an instrumental part of my game. My arm strength in 2004 has been the strongest it has ever been throughout my baseball experience. People ask me why my arm never gets sore. My response - my game preparation consists of an arm band workout and long toss. My arm strength has been a significant complement to my speed at the shortstop position and has enabled me to take my infield play to another level. In addition, when I heard Alan speak on the principles of mental focus I knew I had to make that a part of my routine. I have learned to see myself succeeding through visualization and calling upon mental focus to stay 'in the moment' during every game situation. I'm doing great in every aspect of the game. This is just a result of the process. I'm just working the process and having a ton of fun. The discipline of arm bands, long toss, and mental preparation have helped me propel myself toward a brighter future in the game of baseball.”

James Darnell, 3B, San Diego Padres

“I really recommend this program to anybody who is serious about strengthening their arm. It's also going to improve the longevity of any ones career.”

Glendon Rusch, Pitcher, Chicago Cubs

“Anytime you talk about attaining goals, you must first talk about developing your process and routine. The JBA has found the routine that address both your physical and mental needs.”

Trevor Hoffman, Pitcher, San Diego Padres

“The best thing I ever did was go to the Jaeger Baseball Training Camp when I was a freshman. It taught me the right way to throw with velocity and control. I work out in the off-season with Jim Wagner runs the Jaeger Baseball Training Camp in Santa Clarita. Together they have me reaching my potential. I am now a senior and after 4 years of using their philosophy my velocity has gone from the low 70's to the low 90's. I have been offered scholarships from some of the best D-1s and have had as many as a dozen pro scouts at my games. I use the J-bands and long toss program as part of my workouts and I use the mental approach right before I do my pre-game workout...it really helps me focus on throwing.”

China McCarney, Pitcher, Vasquez High School

“The surgical tubing and arm circles have really been a part of my routine ever since my sophomore year in college. I find it's a good way to loosen and help the overall care of my arm.”

Josh Karp, Pitcher, Montreal Expos

“The JBA training program has insured me that I can throw harder and have more endurance throughout the season while keeping my mind clear and focused.”

“If it wasn't for Jaeger Sports, I wouldn't be where I am today.”

Bryan Corey, Pitcher, Boston Red Sox

“When it comes to working with Jaeger Sports, it comes down to the "Bands and the Breath" — it's pretty simple, Jbands to stretch out, proper breathing to get locked into the mental side of the game.”

Ryan Paul, Pitcher, San Fransisco Giants

“If you are a player looking for an edge then the Jaeger Sports system is what you have been looking for. Jaeger Sports has a comprehensive system that addresses both the mental and physical aspects of the game. The fact is that the two aspects complement each other and are needed to be a complete player. As you start stretching properly, using the J-Bands, doing arm circles and enjoying the freedom of long toss you will see better arm strength and endurance. When you realize these benefits for your arm and overall physical abilities you will get locked in mentally and that will propel your game to the next level. My routine when I am pitching is modeled directly after what Jaeger Sports offers in their camps. Good stretching, proper arm care, long toss and strict focus the whole time. When I can accomplish all of these simple steps I know that when I step on the mound that the other team better be ready, cause I am. With this program you will get that feeling as well and see your potential maximized.”

Steven Held, Pitcher, Olivet Nazarene University

“Jaeger Sports program has made me concentrate on what's important in pitching, arm strength, breathing, and focusing on the process. I wouldn't be the pitcher I am today without Jaeger Sports.”

D.J. Houlton, Pitcher, Los Angeles Dodgers

“My arm has more life and energy than I ever thought possible thanks to the Jaeger Camp.The arm strength program combined with the mental training has allowed me to reach a new level of my game. I enter spring training every year confident that my arm and mind are more healthy and conditioned than any other player on the field.”

Cody Evans, Pitcher, Arizona Diamondbacks

“I cant say enough good things about the Jaeger
Program. My body has never felt as good throwing a baseball as it did while I was out for the Pro Camp. Now I just try to carry all that I learned into the season with me.”

Jeremy Plexico, Pitcher, Washington Nationals

“The Mental Training from the Jaeger Sports Pro Camp has taught me how to be calm with runners in scoring position by tuning into my breath — this allows me to focus on the task at hand, and this is what has contributed to my success.”

Brok Butcher, Pitcher, Los Angeles Angels

“Jaeger Sports is synonymous with success. Through mental training and breathing, anything is possible. The J-Bands are an essential part of my warm up routine as well. With the use of the J-Bands and breathing, I'm able to lock in to my process both mentally and physically, which is a recipe for success.”

Matt Hirsh, Pitcher, York Revolution/Atlantic League

“J-Bands are a huge part of my daily routine. It keeps me loose, strong and feeling good all season long. I also use it in the off-season as a part of my strength program to keep the shoulder muscles in shape even when I'm not throwing everyday.”

John Meloan, Pitcher, Los Angeles Dodgers

“The Jaeger Sports throwing program really works. By using the program you will add velocity, prevent injury, and change the way you train. After trying multiple arm strengthening programs, there is no doubt that the Jaeger Sports program is the best.”

Mike Stutes, Pitcher, Oregon State University

“The Southern California Bombers 14u team had a very successful run last summer and finish the season as AABC Sandy Koufax 14u World Series Champions. Thanks to your throwing program. Had you guys out and the results have been incredible.”

S. Cal Bombers 14u, 2007 team, Bombers Baseball Club of S. California

“I have been using the Jaeger Sports' Throwing and Mental Training program for over three years. My arm has gotten stronger, my velocity has increased and I'm confident when I'm on offense and defense. By using their methods, I know I'll always have one of the strongest arms on the field.”

Will Chapman, Outfielder, UC Davis

“I have been an avid user of J-Bands ever since I entered high school. They have helped both my shoulder and elbow to remain healthy from major injuries for the last 7 years. I have also maintained the velocity and conditioning I need to succeed at the highest level of this sport. I would recommend these J-Bands to any baseball player who wants their arm to remain healthy through the everyday stress that is put on it.”

Adam Olbrychowski, Pitcher, 2007 5th round draft pick, New York Yankees

“I use the Jaeger bands every day before the game and continue to see not only improvement in arm strength but there's also no doubt in my mind that my arm will remain healthy throughout the long season. It's an indescribable feeling when you gear up to throw the ball as hard as you can from the outfield and know that your arm strength will be there, time after time.”

Adam Klein, Outfielder, Oakland Athletics
