I know that some of you are probably getting a little sore, but hang in there. The first three weeks are our building phase and are very crucial. If you cheat, you will pay for it in the long run. Keep working hard and let me know if you have any questions.
This workout is to be repeated for all three days. On Tuesday/Thursday, your off days, get out and throw a little, go to the batting cage, pitchers – work on your drills, etc.
Remember to hydrate and try to workout when it is cooler (i.e. early morning or late afternoon)
