No two athletes are the same. That's why no two of No two athletes are the same. That's why no two offseason programs should be either.This winter, Baseball Queensland's High Performance athletes are undertaking comprehensive physical assessments designed to build a complete picture of their individual needs and potential.Working with our partners at @accelerationaustralia and @the_movement_standard, athletes are being assessed across a range of key growth and maturation markers, mobility, and areas for development rather than tastrength and power measures to identify potential injury risks and uncover opportunities for performance improvement.The testing allows coaches and performance staff to develop tailored training programs for every athlete, targeting specific strengthsking a one-size-fits-all approach.By understanding how each athlete moves, performs and develops, we can prescribe targeted interventions that help reduce injury risk, maximise time on the field and support long-term athletic growth.Research shows that individualised resistance training performed twice per week can reduce injury rates by up to 66%, giving athletes more opportunities to train, compete and continue developing their baseball skills.Over the coming months, we'll be tracking progress against key performance benchmarks, with the goal of improving movement quality, strength, power and overall athletic performance.Because high performance starts long before game day.

Few people have shaped Queensland baseball quite l Few people have shaped Queensland baseball quite like Mal Mackay.From the Australian Baseball League to international competition, Mal built a reputation as one of Australia's most respected umpires. His professionalism, consistency and commitment to the game earned the trust of players, coaches and officials at every level.But his greatest contribution may be the generations of umpires he has helped develop. Through mentorship, leadership and countless hours dedicated to education and development, Mal has played a pivotal role in strengthening umpiring across Queensland and ensuring the future of our game remains in good hands. Just a few of the many reasons he was inducted into the hall of fame in 2025.Today, we count down to the 2026 Baseball Queensland Hall of Fame ballot in anticipation of new names being added to this prestigious list.This year's nominees are: โšพ Lorraine Brockie โšพ Brad Dutton โšพ Drew Naylor โšพ David Sutherland โšพ Keith WenbanVoting will remain open until 22 June, or until all eligible votes have been received.Join us in celebrating those who have dedicated their lives to growing and strengthening baseball in Queensland.For more information head to ๐Ÿ‘‰ https://www.baseballqueensland.com.au/heroes/
