Workouts ready Deer diamondmen Starting practice with stretching exercises, the varsity baseball team loosen up for workout. Following the stretching exercises of push-ups and side straddle hops, the group pair off and warm up while pitching to each other. After the warm up, baseballers split up for individual defensive drills. These drills consist of game type situa- tions for all team positions. Defensive drills are followed by offensive drills such as bunting, base stealing and base running. Following the individual offensive drills, the team regroup for defensive team drills. As a group, they work on defense of the bunt, squeeze plays, cutoffs and steals. The offensive station drill is the last group of drills per- formed by the varsity. These drills help to improve the batting of every individual on the team. Before the end of practice, the team goes through a conditioning phase of the workout, including sprints and distance running. Coach Art Pettit and his assistant Dennis Chaloupka stress agility drills. Workouts such as these, Coach Pettit said, aid in the prevention of injuries. Wins are great, but the safety of our players is our utmost concern. ,l gf ' , in '11 'g ,jf if 'K' lvgfrjf 'Q ,JJ',j'i- Z V'f'5'L 3 Qi13122,l,jjA21if 2fawZ4.i' ffif' fi 'ff 4f5gs S TLP-57 'Y' 'r5'P W Lf' V.
