Hey all, as a high school baseball player, I understand that training is very important. My trouble is finding a balance between weight and strength training and skills training for this fall and winter. So my question is, considering I have nothing to do after school except homework, "What would your day-by-day daily practice routine be?" Keep in mind that I'm a shortstop, so saying that I should take fly balls in right-field may not be particularly useful 
Thank You

Clipper. Don't discount those fly balls in right. My son, who was a 3B D2 all south region selection last year, ends every fielding practice by jogging out to the outfield and catching 15-25 fly balls. He has done this since age 13. Just sayin.
I hit in the cage every day off a tee at a local little league i played at then i hit the weights Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday. I jog on Tuesday and Thursday. Rest on Sunday. I loved to take the saying if there is a will there is a way from this website.
Moses; outstanding I did the same with my son Robert a shortstop.
1st throw from RF to a bucket at 3b, then take grounders at SS.
The reason is to strengthen the arm.
When he played in the Valley League, every 3rd day the coach [a former minor league mgr] had his infielders throw from the OF before the game.
PS: my current "pet peeve" is the 1b who does not watch the runner touch the bag.
That is an out which can win a game. This is the 6th tool.
