you need to have a lot of stamina to keep up with the physical endurance. Start running, situps, pushups, jump rope. You can also try lifting weights. You need strong legs to run the bases and the outfield. You need strong arms for swinging the bat (hit a home run). Good luck!

Nick,
I agree with Shannon about stamina-especially running. But more importantly you need to spend a lot of time in batting practice. If you can't hit well, you simply won't play in high school.

thank you

Hey dude, I play college baseball now, and I remember trying out for my high school team as a freshman. I'd say the most important thing is to get a lot of reps in, taking some BP and groundballs or flyballs. Coaches are looking for freshman who show they have some skill, physical always helps, but a player who looks like they really know how to play will always make the team. Physical workouts that I do for my college team now include running a lot, both long distance and shorter sprints. Also some lifting, with lifting some work on your arms are good, but I would focus the most on your core and power, you can use medicine balls and different core and ab workouts for that. Good luck man, and remember to not get to nervous, know that you are prepared and deserve a spot on that roster. Also, make sure to assert yourself in the tryout. Try to play a key position if given the opportunity, dive, steal a bag, just play hard, the players who stand out are the ones that are hustling the hardest. Good luck

thanks zach

Hi,

I did a little checking to the web and I found Baseball Fit:
http://www.baseballfit.com/baseball-exercises.htm

You want to check them out. I suspect you'll get some great advice.

If you plan on pitching do a lot of wrist exercises make sure the motion comes from your wrist and hands if u don't u'll wear out ur arm and u might hurt something work ur ab muscles run a lot and stay hydrated u should be good from there good luck

I play Baseball and the way I get so good is always practicing and beleiving in myself, if you play long toss you can build armstrength

what i would do is to do like push ups.
and practice bating and pitching ok.

just stay on your toes and keep up the good work and i have played base ball for 11 years good luck hope u make the team
