Muscle Conditioning for a 13 year old

Posted by: Cyndi (muw2unc@mindspring.com) on Tue Aug 14 12:53:46 2001

I am interested in helping my 13 year old to develop the muscle groups needed to improve his hitting. I often hear that people like Sosa and McGwire are so strong that even when they are not swinging well they can actually "muscle" the ball out of the infield and beyond. On which groups should my son concentrate? I'm assuming that lower body strength is important. One person already recommended a good book called Complete Conditioning for Baseball. Thanks.
