5 Keys To Baseball Success

Key 4: MOBILITY
Every drill that is performed should be geared towards augmenting your movement on the field. Working to improve efficient athletic movement, allows for the performance of the athlete to increase. Baseball is a sport that requires versatility, reaction, first-step quickness and multi-directional speed. It does not require maximum speed, unless you are running out a triple or inside the park homerun.
Your goal should be to improve starting speed and acceleration, allowing you to improve your home-to-first time and your base-stealing potential. To develop starting speed or to maximize your accelerating starts work on baseball specific form runs, starts, stops and cutting drills, and utilize sports loading as a training tool.
