Not a hitter by any means, but I swear I do alright at 5 o clock (BP time for those that don’t know). 👇 more👇
Pitchers, you should keep taking swings even if you’ll never hit again in game. As a RHP my back would get super tight and I’d feel imbalanced at times from throwing and rotating to one side so much. Yes mobility and rotational work helps but I couldn’t think of a more fun way to help with this than to go hit lefty - if it wasn’t obvious I’m not a natural lefty. It’s not pitching or even throwing, but it helped me feel good on the mound.
Another thing, as I progressed through the game I found it to be stressful and it was easy to forget baseball is a game. So I started taking swings with the position guys and having fun with the game again and that’s something that helped me on the mound as a result.
