If you know baseball, you know how hard the training in baseball is and how innovative it is to perform weight training which is incorporated in a baseball training program, you would know how effective this training is in competitions. There are a number of persons though who say that baseball could be a dangerous method in weight training than when you do it slow and accurately in the gym or a fitness center. Many say that most of the coaches commit serious errors that cause traumatic bodily stress or injury in a person who is into a baseball weight training program.
1. Weight training through baseball should take into consideration the limitation of players – Even slight errors in baseball training can already cause injury to an individual. The truth though is that it is not really the training that does not work but it is the coaches who do not understand fully this kind of weight training program. There are many caches of baseball players who just want to increase and increase the strength and stamina of their field players but who do not think of the limitations of these athletes. Often times, the injury comes after severe and successive training in preparation for the upcoming competition. Least they know that their players are already over stressed and over trained.
2. Train but do not strain through overtraining. You should know that overtraining is not good because it not only causes injuries and severe muscle damages on the body but likewise, it defeats the very purpose of an exercise. You should know that like ordinary weight training exercises, the baseball weight training program should observe the same basic principles in weight training such as rest. Rest is as important as exercise and progression. In fact, you cannot progress if your body can no longer tolerate the load that you are putting on it. Challenge is a lot different from damage and that is what you want to avoid.
3. Incorporate variations in the training program. There have be variation in the types of routines that you do and in the intensity of the routines. It would be better to incorporate other exercises that similarly work to strengthen your muscles. Say for example, basketball routines may be incorporated in the baseball routines in order to enhance the flexibility of the body which is much required in the baseball game. There has to be variations as to the speed of your routines in the program. This is one form in which the progression principle can be incorporated in the program.
4. Force = Mass x Acceleration Principle in baseball – Lastly, you should know that the most important aspect in the weight training program in baseball is the force produced. Aside from the strength of the leg muscles and the hand and leg coordination, the program also develops extreme force particularly when one swings the baseball bat. Imagine what huge force you need in order to swing a bat at 90 mph. The very reason why most coaches incorporate weight training in baseball is because force requires mass times acceleration. The acceleration is defined as the speed at which the bar is moved while the mass is the weight on the bar.
This explains exactly how a baseball weight training program will help you achieve – greater force.

Help answer the question about Baseball
How can we support baseball when most players make more than average person in just 3 games?I am mostly referring to baseball, but the same goes for basketball. If anyone else is feeling the economical crunch, please explain how you can support it? Isn't minor league just as entertaining? Have they apologized yet for cancelling the World Series?
Haven't many of them thumbed their noses at fair competition by using performance enhancers?
Don't you feel like this is the year to show them who has been supporting them so long by withdrawing that support?

Do a total body workout, one day on, next day rest.
Bicep- alternating bicep curls
tricep-skull crushers
chest-pushups
back-one arm bent over raises
delts-military press
legs- squats
Do 3 sets each and try to keep your reps around 8-10 except for chest do three sets to failure because your only using your body weight, once you get a bench you can start doing flat bench dumbell press, on the days you are not lifting which should be every other day, you can work on your cardiovascular exercises. After about a year, then you should start doing body splits (working out one or two body parts a day)
What's your workout? When do you do it? (ie. mon/wed/fri. Everyday, what?)
How many reps, sets, what kind of weights, are you using proper technique?
You know that stretching is bad, right? It reduces speed, power, strength, force production, and can actually increase the chance of injury.
If you're experiencing pain, STOP! Stop stop stop stop. By working out, you would be doing more harm than good. Rest for a week, take some advil if it's bothering you. If it's still bothering you after a week or so, go to an orthopedist who specializes in sport's injuries.
What positions do you play?

awesome stuff man,….ama practice hard to get to yo level!
Here is my personal routine. Maybe this will help with some ideas.

you're lifting wrong…. you need a pitching coach
HOLY CRAP! Comparing this to the original picture, they’re identical!
I'm a lefty first baseman and usually coaches tend to make a big deal out of lefties. Here are your options: Practice pitching (take lessons, not catch with your dad), OR get really good at 1B and then you will have to work on your hitting.
Set up a net and hit off a tee. I hit off my tee everyday for about 50 swings and I see improvements every few weeks. Your lucky you have a decent arm. If I had a somewhat good arm, I would go all out on pitching. I'm 14 and I throw like 65mph. That's why I'm a first baseman. I got cut in 7th grade and then I spent hours taking ground balls, throwing, and hitting and I made the team in 8th grade and 9th grade.
If you don't want to continue with pitching, and playing first base and hitting are too much, I would suggest to the outfield (less work, but still some work.) Then you would be able to to focus more on hitting. On losing weight, RUN. First off, it will help you lose weight and it is so convenient to have extra speed/stamina when you are running either to first base or to get a fly ball.
If you are going to do weight training, DON"T WORKOUT YOUR BICEPS. I spent my entire winter working out my abs and biceps (Thinking that if I look strong, then I'm probably going to be stronger at baseball) WRONG. My arm got messed up and it barely improve my swing. Baseball players aren't JACKED or RIPPED.
Workout you LEGS (helpful if you continue to pitch or play first base) and your FOREARMS. Forearms help give your swing it's main source of power. You would think biceps but no. Look at A-Rod (bad example) yea he has big biceps (for the ladies) but he forearms are huge also. Also workout your triceps and abs ( to making the motion of pitching easier and running easier.) So here's your list of workout nessecities:
-Running, SPRINTS.
-Tricep workouts.
-Forearm workouts.
-Leg workouts.
You can find specific workouts at http://www.scoobysworkshop.com I know your frustrated, but I had a bad season offensively, and it drove me to working hard so I can bat above 7th next year.
