Foot-Speed
for Baseball
Baseball
players should incorporate jump-rope, dot-drills, or mini-cones to
improve foot-speed, which allows players to apply greater force
against ground for balance & moving quickly in any direction.
Guidelines:
• Incorporate
5 minutes of drills 2x per-week at beginning of practice.
• Stay
tall & stay on balls of feet (not toes / not heels).
• Keep
wrists loose & close to body.
• Use
arms to generate more speed & power.
• Maintain
slight bend in knees. Never land straight-legged.
• Start
slowly & master movement. Once mastered, always move at
game-speed.
• Begin
with low-volume / low-intensity / low-frequency of work.
• Allow
full-recovery between drills.
• Always
use good form & technique (quality vs. quantity).
