As the season approaches, athletes in Tacoma are eager to hit the field ready to compete.
Preseason is the perfect time to focus on training, build strength, and refine skills before game day.
At The Pen, we help players maximize their offseason so they enter the season confident and prepared. Here’s how you can do the same.
Baseball and softball demand explosive power, speed, and endurance.
Preseason conditioning should include:
Strength Training – Focus on legs, core, and upper body to improve throwing and hitting power.
Agility Work – Ladder drills and cone drills for faster footwork.
Mobility Exercises – Stretching and resistance bands to prevent injuries.
Tip: Our team weight room at The Pen is designed specifically for youth athletes.

Hitting mechanics with tee work and soft toss.
Defensive footwork and glove work.
Throwing drills for arm strength and accuracy.
