Trainers for Baseball Players

BEN GRAHAM: The trainers are responsible for keeping the team healthy. They make sure that they are maintaining a proper diet, maintaining proper stretching and calisthenic regimens, making sure they're doing their workouts when they're not on the field, making sure that they're hitting the gym right doing the right types of exercises at the right times. Trainers also deal with injuries. If you have a pulled hamstring or if you're nursing a gimpy knee, the trainer is going to help you work through that. Also they're going to make sure that after the game the pitchers get the proper heat and the proper ice on their arms, make sure they keep warm and keep stretched out. They're just responsible for making sure that each individual player stays healthy throughout the season. Also when a player does get injured, the training staff is responsible for getting them back on the field as quickly as possible with as little damage done as possible making sure that they make their way through the injuries. They work very closely with the medical staff, with the surgeons to make sure that the players are going to be able to come back better and stronger than ever. So even though you don't necessarily see the trainers, they're very important to a team's continued success.
