While
their is no replacement for repetitions on the tee, soft-toss or live
pitching, there are times when this is just not possible but it does not
mean we can't do something to improve our young sluggers. Improving strength in hands and forearms will give any player better control and power. Simple exercises will fill up some otherwise idle time with a routine that makes hands and forearms stronger.
Put
a couple tennis balls in the car and have your player hold and
repeatedly squeeze the tennis ball over and over and if they can make a
habit of it - they will get stronger. The same can be done while
watching television. If either mom or dad uses resistance bands or small dumbbells at home they can do some version of wrist rolls as well. You could even make a project out of making a homemade roller - broomstick handle, rope and a weight.
