Baseball requires core strength - strong backs and strong abs.
It involves a little more than the midsection of the body, mainly the body and abs, and an important component is the legs. We have a specific core of exercises that work those three parts of the body. The most effective method in training a baseball player is a series of combination sets. Focus in on one of those anatomical parts and do a series of exercises before you go onto another anatomical part. Doing a combination series, a multiple set, and different back exercise variations ensures the player that his back muscles are fully developed.
