Creatine in NCAA Baseball
Mark McGwire uses it. Sammy Sosa uses it. The Atlanta Braves have tubs of it in their locker room. Then why does Scott Carnahan, Linfield College's varsity baseball coach and coach of the 1994 U.S.A. Olympic baseball team emphasize, "I will not participate in distributing it to any of my players"? It is Creatine and it has become a health concern among most NCAA baseball coaches in Oregon.Creatine is a substance that is naturally produced in every human being. Every adult has around 130 grams of Creatine in their body. It allows us to run fast, lift hard, and react quickly. These are all the essentials of NCAA baseball. In recent years, Creatine had been developed as a food supplement to enhance muscle performance. So why wouldn't NCAA baseball coaches in Oregon distribute the food supplement known as Creatine to their athletes? Yes, it is expensive at $49.99 for 100 grams of powder.

After all, modern athletes develop their strength and endurance in the weight room. But, where once players spent 3-5 hours a week in the weight room, most players now lift 8-10 hours a week. Oregon State's head baseball coach, Pat Casey reached his 100th victory last year, the first OSU coach to do so in fewer than 5 years. "Winning isn't something that comes natural. It takes a lot of hard work outside of practice," Casey stated in an OSU publication. Linfield head baseball coach, Carnahan, agrees. He assigns a workout schedule that works all major muscle groups and many minor muscle groups. It's a similar story in the Willamette weight room where players work each body part twice a week. "This could take up to 6 days a week depending on how many body parts they work on a day," said Coach Wong.
