OFF SEASON NOTES
- Go out for other sports and become more athletic.
- Commit yourself to the weightroom and get stronger and faster. Doing this with the strength coaches at WDHS is by far the best option.
- At some point this fall all pitchers should shutdown for 60 days to recover.
- Come to the WDHS pitchers/catchers program starting the first Sunday in January
- Come to the April hitting sessions.
