Yes, swimming can be beneficial for baseball players and pitchers. Here are a few reasons why: 1. Cardiovascular conditioning: Swimming is a great cardiovascular exercise that improves overall endurance and lung capacity. This can be particularly helpful for pitchers who need to maintain their stamina throughout a game. 2. Low-impact workout: Swimming is a low-impact exercise, meaning it puts minimal stress on the joints. Baseball players, especially pitchers, often experience repetitive stress on their arms and legs. Swimming allows them to engage in a full-body workout without putting excessive strain on their joints. 3. Core strength: Swimming engages multiple muscle groups, including the core. A strong core is essential for baseball players as it provides stability and power during throwing motions. 4. Shoulder mobility and flexibility: Swimming involves a wide range of motion for the shoulders, which can help increase their mobility and flexibility. This can be beneficial for baseball players, especially pitchers, who rely heavily on their shoulder strength and flexibility for throwing. 5. Injury prevention and recovery: Swimming can be used as a form of active recovery for baseball players. It helps improve blood circulation, aids in muscle recovery, and reduces muscle soreness. Additionally, swimming can be used as a cross-training activity to prevent overuse injuries and balance out the stress put on different muscle groups. While swimming offers many benefits, it is important for baseball players and pitchers to ensure they maintain their specific baseball-related training routines as well.
Yes sir! Old school. That's how we did it back in the day.

One thing that is often overlooked is the angle in to out. If you set your L screen to close to the 3b side you will teach your right handed hitter to open there hips prematurely. Very bad.
He missed, stay low as you move your feet. Use your legs to drive your body through the throw! If you stand up as you move your get the ball will end up in centre field😬
Anybody else using a usssa 1.20 BPF slow pitch softball bat for a fungo? Any similar suggestions that give really good pop, so an old man doesn't have to work as hard.
How can anybody listen to this it's like ...like ...like it's like what like happended like speasking like the English like...language is like dead. Like 40 "likes" in like 6 like minutes like
Great video and explanation! So when we go to automated, umpire-less balls and strikes, will the stance/receiving change since framing and blocking out the ump won't matter?
You guys listen to everybody and get the best out of every coach and what works for you, so..here is my 2 cents: BEFORE GAME TIME, I WOULDN'T WORK ON ANYTHING OTHER THAN MY EVERYDAY HITTING APPROACH PLUS ANY STRATEGY SPECIFIC FOR THAT GAME DEPENDING ON THE PITCHER. MECHANICS ARE TO WORK ON AT PRACTICE.
the truth is playing professional sports is indeed unrealistic, especially as a middle schooler. When you factor in all of the players out there who would like to get paid big money to play a sport and those that actually do, it is mathematically unrealistic. Don't get me wrong, you should work as hard as you can. Even then, it is still unrealistic.
I sometimes will pitch and when i used to pitch I threw a sinker but i threw it a different way. I threw it with a 2 seam grip but has my thumb bent to make the ball on top of the joint/nail of my thumb. (This is the best I can explain it sorry if its a bad explanation)
It depends a lot. Most people can do everything right and the ball will just never move. Some people just pick it up and it moves like crazy. If you've never pitched before though just throw fastballs and focus on throwing strikes
This is for outfielders. You need to have as deep of a pocket as possible and the glove needs to snap closed. Infield needs to have three fingers folded over to quick ball transfer.
Im 25 and did not play college ball, is it possible to go pro even at 25? Im 5'6 but quick, have never tracked my stats. Just curious if there's a chance to even go minor league.
My son is starting to throw a circle change, the advice of “throwing the circl to the ground” has helped him a lot. He hasn’t tried throwing it in a game yet but he’s gonna give it a shot in their next tournament
For you infielders try going 2 in the ring (pinky and ring finger in the ring hole) from experience love it I play shortstop and it lets me have a better transition but yall all do what makes you fell comfortable.😁
