Anthony Iapoce Hosts Clinic at the Newly-Removed MaX Effort Baseball
A group of young ballplayers were treated to some high-level training by Chicago Cubs hitting coach Anthony Iapoce on Saturday at the newly-renovated MaX Effort Baseball in Farmingdale, NY.

This is a group of friends that will be friends in 20 years and when they’re old and gray will be talking about these days on Facebook,” he said jokingly. What he does not joke about is the rapid ascension of the organi...
Max Effort Baseball: On the Cutting Edge of Baseball Training and Education
When it comes to being a successful hitter, there is nothing more frustrating than being geared up for a fastball only to hopelessly flail at a change up in the dirt. Believe me, as a .220 hitter as a senior in high school I can attest to this. There is no amount of hours in a batting cage that can prepare you for the challenge of off-speed pitches and tight breaking balls. Enter Senaptec and Hack Attack Pitching Machine. These revolutionary devices represent the next-wave of baseball training, something in which several Major League Baseball teams have purchased and begun to implement into their organizations. Both of these do not come cheap, however, and unless you are able to book an appointment at Yankee Stadium or Wrigley Field you won’t be able to utilize their limitless potent...
