| June 5, 2017 gonz 51 posts | what kind of stretching excise do you do before game time? Hi Guys, I just was interested in how much stretching or how to stretch before game time. I just pulled my Hamstring yesterday and it hurts like hell. I know I gotta stretch more before a game and was looking to see what else. I can do so I don't hurt so much anymore after my game.

I would say about 10 minutes stretching and then a few more minutes doing some light jogs and lunges. As the day goes on, I play it by ear depending on how loose I feel. I find that the key to stretching though is to try to do it every day that you can and not just prior to games. My legs/back feel a lot better if I keep it to a daily routine. it also helps the legs recover more quickly after tourneys. |

Except for injuries, this is why some can no longer throw with velosity or run faster, if at all. Pre-game. Jog around the whole field to warm up the legs and arms. Take a bucket of balls out to the shallow OF and start easy by tossing the balls towards the foul line fence. Do a second bucket and start increasing your velosity. Do before the first game and at home once or twice a week. Long tossing is one of the best exercises to increase speed which means distance. Use dynamic stretches for everything else. In and out. Lunges, trunk twisters, toe touches, etc. If you sit for awhile before your next game, around the 5th inning, go do some light jogging, tosses, and stretches. Always do some striders during your warm up. This consists of 60-70% of your max sprinting speed over 40-50 yards. Walk back to the starting spot and go again. Do about three of them. This is a way of letting your leg muscles know you're going to be running fast shortly. Anyone who has no serious long term body issues can improve, over time, their speed, flexibility, stamina, etc. If you're a player who can run pretty well and is used for lots of PR, plays the OF, etc. you should probably do a cool down after the final game. This is where you do static stretches for your quads and hamstrings. Do three striders (gets rid of some lactic acid) with static stretches in between. Good luck. |
| June 6, 2017 crusher Men's 75 524 posts | I like to do 5 push-ups, then 10, then 10 again. This brings some heat to muscle and tissue. Results, l can swing bat better, much better. After push-ups do some stretching, throwing, etc. I do not do pull-ups because I can't get my feet to clear the ground. lol truth C |
