Ynkeeboi: What is a baseball specific workout that will increase my throwing velocity and also help me hit farther?
Any baseball players out there, please let me know what you do to gain muscle for hitting and pitching.
Does anyone use kettlebells? What about resistance bands?

I call it the lumberjack work out, not really sure the real name of it. but you get a rubber plate weight that you’d use for power cleans and swing it like your cutting down a tree with an axe (similar to a baseball swing, but don’t follow through, stop once you “hit the tree”)
Squats, you can’t do anything without a strong base, it will increase your velocity and your bat speed.
Core workouts, will both increase bat speed, and your velocity, as well as make you overall more athletic.
If you go only, their are numerous kettleball workouts for all sorts of sports, kettle balls can be your best friends if you use them right.
Don’t forget to workout the basics, work your swing, throw long toss. All those basics are things many young players forget about, because they only want to hit the weight room and get bigger.
