Is Baseball Practice really that hard?

If you are working to get where you want nothing is easy--you need to sweat to get what you want--NO SHORTCUTS !!!

If its not you are either dogging it or you need to find another program to play at. 3:50 on the field stretch and throw. 4:20 posistion play. 4:45 Groups INF cage soft toss t work live bp cage. OF Live bp field with baserunning and bunting drills. Pitchers bull pens. 5:15 rotate inf with of pitchers run poles. 5:45 Team work. Cuts / bunt d and o / ist and third d and o / pfp / specialty plays. 6:30 review the days work. 6:40 conditioning. 10 380's all under 40 seconds. 10 40's 8 60'2 4 100's. Stretch. Field maint and prepare it for the next days practice or game. Leave field around 7:20. Now thats a typical day of course we will change up to get in run downs etc.

Coach...you must have lights?? We start varsity @ 1:45, off the field @ 5:00 during pre-season, 4:30 during the season. Why do you start so late??

3- Base running drills
4- Tee work, Soft Toss
5- Bunting
6- Fielding drills

From 5:00-7:30 8 kids.

I was just wondering about all the practices starting this year. I am not implying that I dont work hard at practice.

Practice is what it is. Coach tells you to do something do it.

ok so what i have been told in the past is that u are not working out until u are ready to puke. when u are ready to puke u know u gave 110% effort. i go through 3 day practices sometimes. i am only 15. yes it is very important to throw, hit off the tee, etc. but there are other practices for baseball. there is weightlifting practice and there is just strictly running and endurance practice. when poepel think about baseball practice they think about throwing and hitting. that is ittttt. every part of ur body makes up baseball practice. that might sound weird but it does. practice never ends for me. i practice 24/7 let it be running, pushups,sit ups, weightlifting, throwing, and running. when u play basketball that can be a way for practicing baseball. basketball gives u endurance and quick feet. everything can help u. if u do not think about the game of baseball 24/7 then u dont belong on the field. i live,eat, and dream baseball 24/7. too all of u guys who just think practice is like a 1 hour thing everyday, i got some words for u, "pull your skirt down and get big" that is how u progress

at my hs we dont accomplish a lot in practice...i have tried to emphasize to him that baseball is an offensive game when you dont have dominant pitchers, especially in a smaller school, but he still persists work on defense 75% of our practices. i get up in the mornings and hit and do all sorts of drills with friends who are also dedicated to baseball. that where most of my practice come. and because im a catcher i dont get a to do a whole lot except catch in becuase we only have three catchers and i know more about catching than all three of our coaches, it sucks
...i will be glad when im gone

I agree with you guys, epecially IF. I'm only a freshman, but baseball and football are life. I lift nearly every day, and I'm practicing when I'm not. It stands to reson that the more you put in, the more you get out, right?
