Improving Baseball Speed

During the past several months, we have been training our high school baseball players to improve their speed. The most important teaching lesson that we have to continuously remind our guys is to be quick with the hands. This is an important trigger that helps with moving fast out of home plate or stealing a base. The proper arm movement allows for an action reaction that sets a chain reaction throughout the body. When teaching our players the proper technique, we make sure that the action is quick and simple. The quicker the hands the quicker the rest of the body will follow the action.
