Fielding on the Move<\/strong><\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In baseball and softball we ask you to move through the ball to improve fielding speed. But it’s not as easy as it sounds.

Hip flexors, hamstrings, TFL, and gastroc mobility are hugely important to running faster, farther, and pain free. Here are some stretches you can do literally anywhere: Running Stretches<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
