I would have to say that this team is very well put together. They have an all around approach to the way they are handling this team and it shows in their practices and meetings. I'm excited to watch my kids play for this team this year and I hope we have a great year with many more to come. The team site is awesome, whoever did their website design did an amazing job.

I’m a 14 year old who is going to be trying out for my schools team this March. How often should I be getting in batting practice and how many swings should I aim to take each session? I’m currently getting around 300 swings a week. I also try to incorporate some time each week to conditioning and strength training. Any tips for my routine would be appreciated. thank you, Nick Asmar

Hey, as a 13 yr old here, I also do some of the same things you do. For speed and agility drills, try to get an agility ladder(pretty cheap) and try some variations to work on your footwork. As far as speed drills not being done outside, try plyometrics(can be done indoors in a larger space like garage) and sprints if you can get to an indoor facility. Stay away from distance running, doesn't help for baseball and also slows you down since you get used to training slow. If you have social...

For conditioning I usually just do body weight exercises (push-ups, sit-ups, etc.) what type of speed/agility drills would you recommend? I can’t really do anything outdoors because of the weather here in Michigan.

Keep up the strength training. What do you do for conditioning? I would work on speed and agility drills in place of old school “conditioning”.

Thank you. I’ll look into the agility ladder and start doing some sprints.

Dang... I've got a 2025 and he doesn't write like you do. Kudos! Keep working hard. Sounds like you've got a goal and plan.

Thank you!

I’ve actually thought of that and will try to do some. Really is a good workout.

do you have a walk/driveway that needs shoveling? full disclosure, i'm from Hawaii and live in California so I don't know much about snow but I've thrown my share of dirt around and I know that's a heck of a workout. can you incorporate shoveling every other day (or every day if it needs it)? you get some upperbody work, posterior chain work, core/twisting work, aerobic activity, etc.

Lots of great advice here, body weight plyometrics are great ways to develop strength and power. Weight training is another option but I would not advise it unless you are supervised for proper technique and that may be hard at home. Please do not neglect the hitting and throwing prep. Remember if you can throw gas or mash, they will find room for you on the team. Lastly one of the old timers made a great statement about team practices...it is not to make you better, it is an opportunity for...
