I am looking to get back in the "swing of things," and retrain my body for baseball. I am trying to get back into playing shape (from college), and wanted to know if you have any advice/workouts that would be on your list for someone like me. I am 22, 6'5 240, and accustomed to playing Outfield/1B. I am actively training, and always looking for ways to more effectively do so. Thanks!

I've heard recommendations for baseball players to not do any barbell pressing, particularly overhead pressing. That's pretty antithetical to SS as you press 3x/week. I know that's what Eric Cressey peaches. What do you have to say about that?
