Geting back into Baseball shape

When are you hoping to start playing? Hasn't your season started?

Well, Im playing summer ball this year with some of the guys..They are playing now, But I wanted to make sure I went into baseball with my grades looking great, which they are. So ill be playing fall ball with them in august.

Summer ball seems like a logical step to getting back in shape. My suggestion would be to throw, lift, run and hit as much as you can. Sound simplistic, but must be done. Do whatever your bball buds are doing and then some. Perhaps your bball friends couldgive you an honest assessment of what you should be working on.

IS there a certain workout program I need to be on?

I am not an expert. However, you stated you have stayed in shape. I am assuming that means you have stayed trim and still go to the gym regularly. If that's the case, then I think most of your focus should be on baseball skills and perhaps getting some hitting instruction to determine what you need to work on. IMO, the baseball skills are more important than getting in "baseball shape" at the moment (aagin, assuming you are in good non-baseball shape). You could be in incredible shape, but if you can't hit, field or throw, you have no chance. But please, again, I am not an expert, perhaps I should not have answered. Just my opinion. I wish you the best.

Tell the coach you want to play next year. He'll give you the workout.

I throw just as hard as I did thirty years ago in college. The ball just goes slower.
