Have a child who’s interested in getting better after their first season or two of youth baseball, coach pitch, or t-ball? These our favorite items from our partner Dick’s Sporting Goods to improve your game:
- Marucci Weighted Training Bat
This bat is very narrow and helps improve bat to ball skills for kids of all levels. - Marucci Mini Wiffle Ball Set
When you work with smaller targets, accuracy increases. These are even great to hit in basements or indoors with small bats. - Reaction Ball
These balls are designed to improve reaction time and hand eye coordination by creating random bounces. Great to play inside during winter! - Weighted Baseballs
With proper guidance, weighted baseball regimens can increase velocity and arm strength. - Throwing / Hitting Net
While a little pricier, these nets can provide hours of great training and feedback while also saving your house from dings and dents! - Youth Batting Tee
Swings, swings, swings – the more you can swing and make contact, the better. While you can’t always find someone to throw to you, a tee is always there for training! - Resistance Bands
Baseball is a game of flexibility and explosive movements, and strength training with resistance methods are often much more effective for young arms than push-ups or bulky exercises. A guided regimen with these resistance bands can make a huge improvement over a winter, and can be done while watching TV or movies!
