Balance, body control, flexibility, and core strength.
These are integral components to having success in any sport. They also play a major role in baseball.
When I think of balance and body control, I immediately think of successful pitchers. The pitchers who are able to consistently throw strikes are the ones who are able to consistently repeat their deliveries while under physical duress (add core strength and flexibility into the equation).
There is always conflict. Our mind fights our body. Our body even fights our body (balance issues). Our body fights the diamond (change of direction and having to re-establish a balance point).
If we focus on the aforementioned points, we will have a strong foundation in place and this will help us adjust to unfamiliar situations within the game of baseball.
Talk to your coach, trainer, or simply head to YouTube and look up balance and core drills - and hop on them before the Christmas lights come on.
All the best...
