Off-season suggestions?

See if any schools in your area do indoor practices with live pitching. Getting in the cages will help make sure the first pitch you see in a real game isn't the first one you've seen since August.

You could also take the time to hit the gym. Whether it's weight training or cardio, stay active. Do squats and build up your legs to help push you through extra innings. Get some running in and gain an extra step or two heading up to third base.
