Arm Strength

There's no substitute for throwing a baseball. Often players ask what they can do to improve their arm strength. While there are some great resources for weight lifting and other conditioning exercises that can help, I believe long toss is the single most beneficial thing you can do to gain arm strength.

Player Tip

Some keys to throwing accurately from the outfield include:

Always use a full arm motion, don't use a short throwing motion like an infielder or catcher.
Always grip the ball across the seems. Improper grip on the ball can cause it to tail and or dip when you throw.
Throw overhand not three-quarter or from the side. Throwing the ball overhand with the proper grip will allow you to throw the ball on a line.
