A Baseball Player

I'm always writing about the pros. I have decided to take a break and talk about the normal day of a baseball player. First off, everyday you get dirty. There is never a day after practice where your pants are clean and don't have grass or dirt stains. This is what is the best part! I love to get dirty and it is fun when your uniform shows that you have been working hard. Keeping things clean and straight is for losers! In this post not only am I going to take you through a normal practice, but also life at home.

While of course you have to struggle through school, after, there is always something to look forward to. Practice usually is pretty uniform. Jog and warm up and then work of the things that need improvement. Of course the coaches know what to work on. It's what we did wrong at the previous game. Usually, a practice includes hitting and fielding. First, you break off into groups and work your position. Doing out fielding work is always fun, but it's a huge bummer when you miss one and have to take the jog of shame after the ball that you just screwed up on.

Live Batting Practice (BP) is always fun. However, there are tons of exercises that help you out with your hitting. Usually there is hitting stations that you switch off at. Each station works a different skill that is helpful when it comes to games. Hitting is personally my favorite part. It's always fun to take out some anger on innocent baseballs. Each hitting station as I said, helps a different skill. There is tee work, live pitching, and soft toss. When you are using a tee to help yourself out, there are tons of ways to use it. For example, working on outside and inside pitches. Live pitching helps you read the balls and get better and knowing what kind of pitch is coming and where it is going.

While there is tons of work to be done on the field and with the team, at home is no different. Everyday there is something that needs improvement. A good start is to hit off a tee. This is an easy exercise that will improve your hitting skills tremendously. Not only is it a good way to improve, you don't need anyone else to do this. You can set everything up yourself. Having a tee as a baseball play is a MUST if you want to succeed. I hope you understand a little more about things that go on in a baseball players life! See ya next time!!
