Need help from baseball players on getting started in the sport.?

I am a high school junior really interested in playing baseball for my schools team this year. The only problem is, I’ve never played baseball before save one year in little leagues, therefore, I need good advice on how to make up for all those lost years. Nevertheless, I am determined to try my hardest to not only make the team, but to be a solid player also. However, I really need tips and pointers to guide me on my way. I have searched for days online and everything I come up with is real vague and not very helpful. Any tips for a workout program, beginner technique, good equiptment (glove, bat, etc.), or any links to good websites would be GREATLY appreciated. Thank you so much!

When I was playing the best way to get some fundamentals in was to find a brick wall and throw a tennis ball against it and do not let the tennis ball get by you. That helps with your footwork and with hand-eye coordination.

And for hitting, this sounds weird but it works, to help get your eye on the ball, I always took an old beat up bat and found an empty parking lot and I’d throw a small gravel sized rock in the air and try to hit it, doing all this by myself. When you start getting good at picking up the rock in air and hitting it then imagine how easy hitting a baseball starts to become!

A. G. Spalding and the Rise of Baseball $7.48 A. G. Spalding was a key figure in the professionalization and commercialization of American sports. Co-founder of baseball’s National League, owner of the Chicago White Stockings (later Cubs), and founder of a sporting goods business that made him a millionaire, Spalding not only willed baseball to be our national pastime but also contributed to making sport a significant part of American life. This biography captures the zest, flamboyance, and creativity of Albert Goodwell Spalding, a man of insatiable ego, a showman and entrepreneur, whose life illuminated the hopes and fears of 19th-century Americans. It is also a vivid evocation of the vanished world of 19th-century baseball, recreating a time when it was transformed from a game played on unkempt fields to modern style.

The Sporting Muse $32.98 This study analyzes contemporary American sports poetry, demonstrating that poems about sports express common attitudes and showing what the respective sports’ poems say about American culture of the last fifty years. While placing particular emphasis on the hero in American sports poetry, the study proves that a considerable body of sports poetry exists in American culture and that it is worthy of serious analysis. The study opens with the analysis done so far on sports poetry, articulates methods of approach, and gives a brief history of sports poetry, beginning with victory chants around the tribal campfire. From Thayer’s "Casey at the Bat" to Gibb’s "Listening to the Ballgame," the body of the work is organized thematically by sport: baseball, football, basketball, women’s sports, and minor sports such as golf, racquet sports, and boxing. The study concludes with a chapter on poems about fans and spectators and a summary of the study’s arguments. Each section gives detailed readings of many poems.
