Long Toss training for high school baseball outfileder


Question
im in high school trying to get 300 on a line so i can get center field and i do long toss. i was wondering if having a 2lbs wrist weight while throwing long toss would help me get better and have a stronger arm. Also i do lift and if there are any lifting exercises to help what im trying to accomplish please tell me cause i really cant find any. Also resistance band training i can do as well just need to know what workouts to do. if you have any exercises for me that i mite not know please tell me because im really workin hard at arm strength cause i only get 210 ft on line tops right now.

thanks

Hey Rob,

Read what another expert on Experts.com. says to a question similar to yours. It's really good and right on....

Depending on where you are from will depend on what you can do at this time.  If you live in the New England area like myself you are limited to indoors.  If your season starts in February it sounds like you may be from a warmer climate than mine.  If thats the case you should be outside doing long toss.  I would recommend doing it on a football field were you can check your progress with the yard line markers.  Start a flexibility and strength program if you have not already.  Focus on your legs and core.  Do all the drills a pitcher would- two knee, one knee, square, "L" drills.  These drills will focus on your arm angle and get you to throw a straight line.  check your grip also.  Make sure you are throwing a four -seam and staying on top of it on the release.  If your ball tails than you may be throwing a two-seam or releasing the ball more with one finger than the other.

Try looking at this video, too.
