Baseball is a 162 game season for a reason, what that reason is I don't know. But its part of the game. If you can't handle 162 games ask for a day off, don't use speed. And many of you are greatly, greatly undervaluing to use of it. You take spped before your workouts to give you that extra kick. It helps you work out faster and harder, thus making your workout better, thus gaining more strength and power. It also helps build your fast twitch muscles (sp?) which is what a player uses to break on the ball, get out of the box, steal a base, etc. There is a reason they are illieagal.
