Principles of Training
This section of WebBall covers conditioning principles, exercise programs, warm-up routines, even mental training. For skills training or mechanics instruction specific to a position on the baseball field, check under the PLAYING section or click the player dots top left.
Before beginning a specific conditioning program for a specific time of year, make sure you understand the principles. Specific routines to ensure proper arm care maintenance for hurlers can also be found under pitching. Pre-teens and younger kids should refer to the Weightless Training page. Confidence Conditioning
Normally the mental aspects of baseball might appear under coaching, pitching or hitting strategies, but confidence conditioning is likely more important to your success in the game than a few extra reps & sets in the gym.

Use this section to help structure a program over time using the exercises recommended above.
Introduction Pyramid Training
This section will help you work the exercises in any time period using the principles of overload/underload training. The objective is to combine strength and speed to develop the balistic power required for baseball.
Note: Some instructors see a danger in using lighter weight balls, for example, but others believe the underload weights are required to develop elasticity and acceleration. The theory behind these charts is defined under the Introduction There has also been a debate raging about the whole concept of overload training especially the use of weighted balls. See Why Overload.
Recommended Products for Conditioning
Given that the player's role in the scouting process is to prep and play as well as possible, then any number of featured items could help, but none more so than knowledge. The second thng you will need that you might not have is experience swinging a wood bat. The third thing you need is a list of college coaches. |
