Exercises that increase speed?

Question

I play outfield on my baseball team. I was wondering if there were any specific excrcises that could either increase my speed when I run or my response time.

what about this? is it good to do also?

Flying 30's are a great way to improve top end speed. Begin at a jog and on a signal, break immediately into a sprint for 30 yards and then come back to a jog. Repeat three times.

Sled pulling and up hill running is a great way to improve acceleration.

There are also studies that show that reflexes (response time) are improved by video games... or basically anything that involves a lot of practice with having to have quick reactions. It's so much a mental thing that you can even try to do some mental exercises for speed/reaction time before a game/practice. You might be surprised at how much that helps.

Answer 3

play the brick game with increasing level of speeds
