how can I practice for baseball by myself?

Question

I need a lot of practice for baseball, but I have no-one to play with, I really don't want to go around hitting the ball, is there anything else i could do?

Answer 1

buy one of those nets, if you can aim you can hit the ball at it, but you would have to duck really fast. throw a ball at the next and catch it. there arent really anyways to do grounders. you can throw the ball up and catch it. good luck

Answer 2

Practicing baseball is always tough, without another player to work with, but here are some things you can do on your own:

1.) condition (running)
2.) Batting cages
3.) Get a bucket of balls, and throw into a net or fence
4.) Get a tee, and hit into a fence or out into a field
5.) Throw a ball against a wall to work on grounders

Of course, if you are really serious about playing, depending on what age you are, you will need more than just yourself eventually.

Answer 3

You can one of those mini trampolines and put it an an angle against a fence or something and throw the ball at it hard. It will create a popup effect to practice your pop fly catches. Drill a hole through a ball and tie a rope within it. Tie the rope to a tree limb where the ball is at around waist or so height and swing away. You can throw a weighted tennis ball against a bring wall to simulate throwing the ball and use the bounce back to practice fielding.

Answer 4

You can get a baseball net and hit the ball there. Or u can throw the ball against a wall and catch a grounder. Or just have a friend come over or ask your parents to play catch. I had the same prob and I threw it against the wall

Answer 5

To practice hitting u should buy one of these...http://www.e-sportsemporium.com/product.asp?specific=joeposf8...you just strap it around a pole or tree....then to practice throwing or fielding you can buy a small individual trampoline nd take out some of the poles on the bottom and lean it up against a fence/tree/or wall and you can throw the ball against it nd it will come back to you..You can adjust the trampoline so when u throw the ball at it, it will give u groundballs fly balls or just regular line drives...

Answer 6

Answer 8

The best swing trainer I've used is called a "Hit-a-way". We got ours from Dick's Sporting Goods but they are mainstream and should be available in many places. My kids use it a lot and love it! Good Luck!

Answer 9

simple, my son. as a former minor leage player, i can attest to hand eye drills like tossing a tennis ball while lying on your back...alternate hands to catch ( use one and two hands, left hand and right hand ) and simulate balls being caught above your head and below the waist. another excellent method is using one knee, facing a wall ( outside ) and tossing the tennis balll up and swinging through for contact. open your hips to the pitcher, completely. practice hitting balls to the left and to the right......need a trainer?
