Episode 2021 - Here's a great conditioning drill for baseball players. Add this to the end of your training as a group. You can alternate athletes and have up to eight players per group. Any bigger than that I recommend that you split up into smaller groups. Pulling a football out at the end of practice can be a great way to loosen up the group. You can do this workout with a baseball and glove as well, but I have always found that utilizing a football here and there is fun for the guys. A great tip to start this exercise is to cover arm action and how to settle your head as you approach the ball. Learning how to run smoothly is very important during the last phase of this exercise. Calm the gate, then reach, and catch.
