Baseball workouts to develop a faster swing?

2 of my friends and I decided that we’re gonna work out before school this year. They play football too so they wont be focusing on the same things as me. I know bench is probably the most worthless workout for baseball.

I have an idea for core lifts. I’m just curious what auxiliary lifts are out their to develop a faster swing?
Also looking for lower body lifts.

From someone who played baseball for 20+ years and still does.

Strengthen your forearms by doing either wrist curls or squeezing something like a tennis ball in your spare time. Workout with dumb bells rather than with a bar.

Triceps Extensions

Nosebreakers

Lat. Pulls

Swing a old bat under water (like in a swimming pool) which may sound stupid but it works very well.

Practice with a wooden bat.

Pratice with a heavier bat.

Practice against faster pitching from a shorter distance.

Good Luck with your conditioning.
