Week 3

           This week at practice we start off with the usually stretches and then we go into plyometrics or plyos for short. Plyos is a series of exercises based upon to get your speed to increase and your power to increase also. After plyos we go into the dugout and hang of the top for 30 seconds, this loosens your muscles in your arm. Then we play some catch which starts from on one knee then to long toss eventually. Then after we've done all the stretches we do some hitting, fielding, pitching, throwing, or throwing drills.
              On Monday we had done a fielding drills with coach Cortes. The drills we did were to catch the ball with our bare hand and go into three other directions. One was at 90 degrees the other was 45 degrees and the last one was 75 degrees. After those drills we went out in the field and caught some fly balls. Then we went to the weight room and that finished practice. Tuesday we had did some live hitting and then went into the weight room.

Week 2

        This week Louie and I talked to our baseball coach after practice on Thursday, we asked if it was okay for us to make the Savanna Baseball blog. He said it was okay for us to do the project. So far at practice we have been just working on hitting and some fielding and a little condintioning. Season starts in February so there is still a long way to go til season. I'm excited for season to start. We are also fundraising money for new uniforms and other equipment. We are selling christmas trees.
         Last week we were getting the field ready for our first winter ball game. Out first winter ball game is against sonora. Me and my partner Louie are going to start getting the baseball website for savanna baseball set up and ready for when season starts.
