Fall Baseball is For This?

Fall baseball is not the same as summer and spring baseball. It is a time for players to slow down and focus on improving their skills. The pace of fall baseball should be slower, with only a few games a week and a night of practice. This will allow players to fully concentrate on their development.

As a coach, I like to use the fall season to work on three key areas of development. First, it is the perfect time to use wood bats in games. Using wood bats is a challenging but valuable experience for youth ballplayers. It helps them develop their hand-eye coordination and strength, which will benefit them in the long run.

Seconly, fall baseball is the ideal time to work on arm strength with a long-toss throwing program. Players' arms should already be in good shape from summer baseball, so they should be ready to undertake a six-week arm development schedule. This will help players improve their arm strength, which is essential for playing in all positions.

Thirdly, the fall season is an excellent opportunity for players to practice or play in games at different positions than their usual ones. This is a great way to develop versatility and enhance their overall baseball skills. Playing in different positions will help players understand the game from different perspectives, which will benefit them in the long run.

Finally, fall is a great time to break in new equipment. Tyipcally you can find equipment like cleats, bats or gloves at reduced prices in the fall and begin to get it game ready for the spring. 

All of these fall baseball plans are designed to help serious baseball players improve their skills and enhance their overall development. By focusing on these key areas, players can continue to improve their game and become better all-around players.

As a final thought, its important to remember that fall baseball is not about winning or losing. It is about developing skills and having fun. So let's take advantage of this slower-paced season and work on improving our game.
