Similarly, the squat jump is another incredible speed and muscle building exercise that’s even recommended by a majority of trainers. You lower your body into a squat with your feet apart at a shoulders width. Then as if sitting on a chair with your butt out, drop down to your knee level slowly and then push up through your heels and jump straight up. Once you’ve landed on the ground, drop again into the squatting position and repeat the drill. Do at least three sets of ten to fifteen repetitions.

3. Mountain climbers.
Every baseball player understands how vital it is to be able to make quick and explosive sprints. As such, the mountain climbers are an outstanding form of exercise that helps to annihilate calories and allow overall toning of the body.

Let your other foot now move towards your thorax and once there, make your little ground tap again, and make the jump again. Continue alternating the feet and make at least three sets of ten to fifteen jumps.

4. Stiff Torso Exercise.
Also known as the anti-rotational power exercise, this drill helps to maintain a rigid torso. We all know how crucial it is to have a stiff upper body as it significantly improves the ability to make powerful sprints. In this exercise, set yourself in a plank position with your body’s weight resting on the elbows and feet straight on toes. Lift one foot off the ground backwards from your hip. Do not let your other foot knee bend and touch the ground but instead, keep it straight. Drop the foot back slowly and lift your other leg now to a six-inch height and drop again. Do three sets of around ten to fifteen lifts.
