Im not sure what you mean by softball drills for warm-up. Just
make sure to be warmed up before doing the softball drills. It's
advisable now to use dynamic exercises to warm yourself up. If you
want to use softball drills as warm-up make sure to use drills that
are not strenuous that may cause strain. Make sure you modify the
