Do any of you have any warm ups to help me get back into better shape before this next season? I've played softball for 5 years, but I want to be extra good this year.

I coach softball, and I have my girls start throwing as soon as they can, and to start exercising and doing cardio. It makes a big difference to do a little bit of work now before the season starts, and they won't be dragging after the first real practice.
For pitchers, a quick drill to strengthen your wrist is to "snap" a ball into their mit for like 15 minutes a day. This is something that can even be done sitting down.
If batting cages are open, spend as much time there also, just to get your swing back.
Have a great season.

Running is one of the best ways to get in shape. I go through the same thing every year, and I always run to get in shape for softball.

I always start by "dry" swinging a bat in my house or outside. It gets my torso back into the motions. It's also great to do during the season. 20 times a night. You'll really, really notice a difference.

Practice throwing a tennis ball off a wall and catching it every day when time allows. When you do start softball it will seem like catching beach balls after practicing with a tennis ball.
