This article explains how the muscles in the hands and wrists affect baseball performance. It begins by identifying key muscle groups: flexor muscles (which close the hand), extensor muscles (which open it), and thenar muscles (at the thumb base). For batting, these muscles control grip strength, wrist snap during swings, and bat stability at contact. In fielding, they help with catching balls, controlling throws, and quick glove reactions. The article suggests training exercises like using hand grippers, wrist curls, and finger exercises to improve performance. Written at a 6th-grade level, it breaks down complex anatomical concepts into simple explanations with baseball-specific examples.
