baseball player's 60 times

hardwork08 · 09-02-2007, 09:47 AM

I'd like to know everybodies 60 times and if they also know their 40/30 put that in aswell.

I know a good 60 is 7.0 down and im right around there (7.13 yesterday) but what is considered exeptional?

a real good time is 6.5. the centerfielder at my school ran a 6.7 and hes nationally recruited, and my school was the national champions at baseball.

I ran a 6.8 in the summer, I have had my 40 timed at 4.5 but that was with a hand timer so I'm not counting it. My fastest 30 yard dash was 3.86. As the quality of strength training in baseball continues to improve the standards for a good 60 time will drop, but that won't happen for another five years or so.

You should be fine, HIIT helped a lot with getting my 60 time down and I will continue to use it so I can try to get down to a 6.4 while working with my school's track coach. I would suggest all baseball players take advantage of sprinting for their winter track program.

isnt 6.4 elite?

all the showcases that this kid at my school goes to (high school all-countrey schocases) the best time around 6.7 sometimes a tiny bit faster

Some coaches are dumb enough to hand time 60's, so I have put up some very good times. My best ever was a 6.8 and that was with food poisoning (almost shat my pants when I was done) so if I'm at 100% and in great shape I don't think a 6.4 HT is too far out there for me.

EDIT: I put on some weight in the summer since I could not lift though so we will see. Whatever my results are I will be glad to share them.

I need to get all of my times much better. How do I do it. Just running isn't doing it for me.

If you are lifting correctly then squats, power cleans, snatches, deadlifts, core movements not called crunches, and lunges have all helped me. I made a thread atleast a year ago about good baseball lifts. It is a list of atleast 20 and if you search for my previous posts you should find it.
