athlete he has worked very hard the last several years with the goal of making it to the next level which at this point is making the freshmen team. The first week of tryouts was filled with lots of running and drills and my son has given it his all but not being an impressive physical specimen I don't think he has stood out. While I would never admit it to my son this process has made me extremely nervous knowing how much he will be crushed if he doesn't make the team. Well last night was the first

Not enough legs These are photos (18 thru 22)of my son warming up before an inning in a tournament this weekend. One of the things I noticed from video my wife took was that he tends to stay tall throughout his motion and doesn't get into a "squatted" position as the stride foot lands. Any ideas or drills to help him get into a stronger position and use his legs more. I've got to believe it would add a couple mph to his fastball. Thanks, CADad

Couldn't believe the score...21-0 at the end of 2 and the regulars were still in the game. One guy batted 7 times in the game.What kind of coach does that to another team? With this debacle, I've lost all respect for the South Carolina head coach!In...

I was wondering if anyone knew of good drills to increase a hitter's vision. Scooter

Iam currently in my senior year in high school and my coaches want me to start hitting from the other side of the plate. Is there any special drills that will assist me in doing so.

We are looking to use the Ron Polk drill series( From his Baseball Playbook) in our practices this coming season. The series seems to cover most skills and would accomplish this in an efficient amount of time. Practice would be Jog, Stretch, Throw, Individual position drills (15min), 3-4 Polk Series Drills (rotating them to cover all in a week)20-30min, and then on to our main focus for the day. Have any of you used these drills as a series? We're wondering what we might run into as problems

We throw 10-12 times at 100 feet and another 10-12 times at 130 feet two or three times a week. Any one have any other drills for the purpose of building arm strength. He is a shortstop looking for velocity deep in the hole.

plate. Once the player is able to get up and down and return to this position we begin the drills. The first drill is a No-Flinch drill. In this drill the player assumes the blocking position but looks up and straight at the coach who is kneeling 3-4ft in front of them. The coach then throws balls directly at the facemask of the player. The player must take the hit without any flinching other then eye blink. For players who turn their heads or flinch backwards this drill should be a regular event

I'm looking for drills that work on using hips. My son switch hits and doesn't seem to get as much power when he doesn't use his hips. Thanks!

Wondering what everyone does to increase speed in your players. Drills, weight training, etc. Any advice would be appreciated.

Let me start by saying that the high school baseball web has been -- hands down -- the best resource we've found for information, support and help. And, that's not just about baseball, it's about life and raising boys. Here's my question. Our College freshman pitcher has been going through fall drills and "try-outs' for his D3 college team. Although he won't admit to freshman jitters, his comments say otherwise. He's really down after a bad bullpen and very high after a good one. Happy to say
