How do I learn to play baseball from scratch for HS varsity tryouts (MIAA in MD)?

Hey everyone,

I’m a freshman in the Crofton area in Maryland, and I want to try out for the baseball team at my school, Annapolis Area Christian School (AACS).

Here’s the catch: I have literally never played baseball before. I know there is a huge skill gap compared to football or basketball, but I have a 30 inch vert and am 6'1 and want to put in the work to make the roster and help our team rebuild.

Our school plays in the MIAA B Conference, so the competition is pretty high. Since I'm starting from zero, how do I get better?

  • What exercises/drills should i do so i can learn the fundamentals
  • Are there any low competition teams near me I can join before HS baseball season
  • What position is the easiest to learn for an athletic beginner with Cornerback/Safety in football o?
  • How can I impress the coaches at tryouts even if my skills aren't goodyet?

Appreciate any advice have!
