Baseball Training


I’ve spent some time the past couple weeks talking with players and coaches to find out what’s on their mind during the off season.  One item that a lot of them are thinking about is baseball training.

This is especially true for the players who want to improve during the off season so they can play better when the spring season arrives.  Well, we say spring season but most high schools begin practice in February.

That means players need to get their reps in by playing fall ball, participating in winter baseball camps and doing as much baseball training as possible.  There are plenty of indoor batting cages and facilities around that will allow you to practice.

I recommend training in the off season for all high school players period.  Maybe even some players ages 12-14 would be wise to train if they want to take their skills to the next level.  If you are concerned about cold weather coming you must not worry.

There are indoor facilities all over North America and plenty of schools these days allow student athletes to practice in the gym during certain times.  You can also bundle up and hit the ball fields.  We did that when I was a kid growing up in Washington State.

Another part of baseball training to consider is a baseball specific workout, conditioning and nutrition program.  Very important!  You need to continue getting stronger as the years go on and keep your body in shape to last through the rigorous season.  Forget about the hamburgers and fries.  Do your body good and do a little bit of healthy nutrition to go along with your baseball training.

Another way to participate in baseball training is through learning materials that you can read and watch.  Remember, baseball is in my estimation at least 50% mental.  The more info you pack away upstairs the more likely it will translate physically while playing.

My years of experience playing and teaching baseball hitting will help you with the challenge of learning how to hit a baseball correctly.  Articles such as the one you just read will inform and motivate you to a better understanding of proper baseball hitting whether you are a coach, parent or ballplayer.  Check back here for upcoming
