Who uses it: Matt Wieters, catcher and fifth overall selection for the Baltimore Orioles
Who coaches it: Jay Shiner, Orioles strength and conditioning coach
Shiner says: The purpose is to help you prepare for your work for the day, and [it can also be used] to cool you down at the end of the day.

• Set intensity, frequency and time on power plate
• On it, assume catchers position, facing away from timer
• Toss light med ball back and forth with partner for specified time

Sets / Reps: 1 / 30-60 seconds
Shiners secrets: Use a light med ball // Have partner stand four to five feet away // Catch the med ball with both hands, and return it to your partner quickly // Have partner throw ball to different locations in the specified time
Adaptation: If you dont have a power plate, perform on the ground or a foam pad
Wieters on the shoe: "The Power shoe is very supportive. You don't feel maybe like an ankle will be rolled over or anything like that when you have these on. [They're] just more stable."
