tryouts

Try working out your core, lower back, and legs. Practice a lot, and do the pre-season workout. The coach will be more inclined to make you on the team if he see's you working hard to become better.

also, be confident during try-outs. dont seem tentative and unsure about yourself.

just show up early every day and put in twice as much effort as every one else. Hustle never has a bad day.

Make sure you can hit. High school teams can teach fielding, and they won't turn down a good bat. They can't and won't teach hitting though. Also, make sure you have a first position. You need to play something well.

I would work on my speed and aglity. My coaches like to steal so having some speed is a good thing. Also work on batting and throwing techniques.

Always go to pre- season work outs!!! Its worth it. It will get you in shape and the coach will reconignze you. It will give you a better shot of making the team. At home work on speed and agility, also work on the bat.

What you need to work on really depends on how good you are already; and what team your trying out for. As a freshman, I played and started on Varsity, but most kids don't do that. If your trying out for JV, i'd really just be looking to do my best-come prepared. Act like you've been there before. If your trying for Varsity, you need to step up. It's too late for drills now since the season is already here, but if you havn't had tryouts yet, i'd just go get cuts and take ground balls.

Do your best, you only have one time to show your skills.

Hey i am a 5'3" 95 lb fresman. i am trying out for my highschool baseball team in February. We stared team conditioning in September and i dont really want to do all of the conditioning to find out that i didnt make the team. Does anyone have ANY advice at all? Whether its about lifting, nutrition, or simple drills that i can do at my house, I appreciate any advice thank you.

There aren't any short cuts to success.

squat squat squat! it builds so much strength, you really need your lower body for baseball. That's were you generate all your power from. Legs and core is where all the velocity for pitching comes from. Speed as well, coaches are always looking for who can run, it's very important in baseball.

good luck!
