Baseball Warm up Tips

This page is about warming up properly so that you do not hurt yourself before the game.  The basic thing is throwing the ball to your partner. When you throw a ball to your partner, you do not want to throw it hard because your ligements and your mussles are not lose and are not ready to extract. So you begin to throw slow(from a close distance)and then begin to take one step back.(don't throw harder when you take a step back)Once you are about to second base you can throw 25% faster.(you should still have an srch when the ball is rerleased)One thing that people do that is a mistake when they warm up is, they throw junk(knuckle,curveball,slider etc...)by doing this, people young and old will hurt and maybe even damage their arm. Warm-up the entire body. Now this doesn't mean a lap around the field and a few stretches. I suggest a full-body Dynamic Stretching routine. This is faster (under 10 minutes), safer (actually lowers injuries) and more effective (improves speed, strength, power and flexibility simultaneously) than traditional warm-up methods.When warming up, warm up your entire body meaning your arms, legs. When you do this, you wont pull something.
