What muscles does Softball use and what kind of drills can I do to strenghten them?

Just to let you guys know, I've been playing softball ever since I was 4, (I'm 14 now), but I'm playing at a higher level now. I want activities that I can do when I'm not at practice. Also, I'm a 3rd baseman and I sometimes batcatch.|||It's not so much the muscles as the coordination, especially hand-eye. I would keep running, maybe mix in some sprinting, and throw, throw, throw. Build up your throwing arm. As a 3rd baseman, you'll need to make strong, accurate throws, so practice throwing until it becomes second nature. Good luck.|||I would say leg and arm muscles.|||running do crooss training on the elyptical push ups and good reflexes and hand eye coordination|||sprints- lots of them. there's also a drill where you get someone to roll you tennis balls from one side to another as you pick them up in correct fielding position. The arm strong helps develop arm strength and catching balls with a soft pad instead of a glove should help develop soft hands. oh and of course as much batting cage time as possible
