The MLB Shortstop Warm-up Routine Every Outfielder Should Know | A-Rod Academy
Hey everyone, it’s A-ROD here 👋
Excited to share this video breaking down one of the most important parts of the game—my personal MLB grounding warm-up routine. This is exactly how I used to warm up my arm and prepare my body every day as a shortstop for the New York Yankees, Texas Rangers, and Seattle Mariners. Whether you’re playing Little League, middle school, or high school baseball, this routine is all about building strong, consistent habits that translate to real results on the field.
I'll coach you through a step-by-step guide on how I used to warm up for ground balls, activate my glove work, and lock in my infield mechanics before games and practices. These drills helped me stay sharp, confident, and ready to compete at the highest level—and now I’m passing them on to you.
⚾ Here’s what you’ll learn:
My full pre-game ground ball warm-up routine
How to properly warm up your throwing arm
The infield glove drills that helped me stay on top
The 125% Rule- How to go above and beyond to ensure you are fully prepared to play
If you’re a youth baseball player, a high school infielder, or a coach working with the next generation, these fundamentals are the foundation of great defense.
Let’s get to work—see you on the field!
