In-Season Baseball Workout – Phase 1 – Week 2, Day 2

Earlier this week you performed the Week 2, Day 1 program that had a small increase in overall training volume from the previous week. Similarly, you’ll see an increase in overall volume for today’s in-season baseball workout. Remember, every player is different and may need to make adjustments specific to their own situation.
