Trevor Tyson from KBands Training discusses an off-day training routine focused on speed, agility, and conditioning for baseball players. He suggests setting up agility cones five to eight yards apart. The drill involves shuffling across a box, dropping the shoulder to rotate, and sprinting to the opposite cone. Players can incorporate glove work and ground balls to enhance the drill. It’s important to maintain high intensity and keep group sizes small (2-3 players) for better repetitions and rest periods of 45 seconds to a minute. The drill aims to improve footwork, particularly for outfielders, by practicing quick direction changes and acceleration. Tyson recommends completing 6 to 10 sets of sprints before transitioning to unresisted routes. For more baseball drills, he encourages visiting the KBands Training website.
