Unlike other sports where time off after the season is acceptable, baseball players need to continue to work out and play to improve various aspects of their game. We want players to work on their running speed and improve their arm strength. During the season, players usually work on maintenance. Currently, the Aggies meet at the field and do a combination of things during their workout. Besides a lot of running, players also play long toss to strengthen their arms and lift weights on the side.
Players also get in the cage and maintain their batting strokes.
While the thought of mandatory conditioning is not something that excites everyone, all players realize the importance of staying on top of their game. You play as much as you can and you also work on strength and speed. You do a lot of sprint work and play long toss. That way when fall ball rolls around, it's just fine-tuning. UCD ace pitcher Justin Reid agreed.
