Some things that I've started doing that seem to help tremendously, especially when working behind the plate.

First of all, I invested in these:

RiteTemp Athletics Officially Cool Endurance Pad Set: Ump Attire

I can't say enough how well they work and keep the heat manageable. That furnace feeling from under the chest protector goes away with these, I kid you not.

Keep well hydrated obviously but before each game, I'd drink a bottle of coconut water which is naturally sugar free and loaded with electrolytes. This helped prevent cramping and helped ensure a proper electrolyte level.
