  • Scott Cline: Major League Speed Development
    Jul 29 2026

    Scott Cline - Strength/Conditioning Coach for the Arizona Diamondbacks - joins us for the 161st episode of MTN. On today's show, Scott takes us through a bit of his life while navigating the 162 game schedule of the MLB, but we spend the majority of the conversation in discussion around speed development application within baseball. We talk in multiple avenues, linear, multi-directional, and curvilinear. This was an interesting episode with someone who has a diverse background in performance

    Scott has a six week applied speed cohort starting next week (!) in which he takes you through a curriculum around the coaching eye, application of T&F to team sport, and much more. Email Scott directly at scott.cline14@yahoo.com to sign up!
