⚾️ Nutrition for the HS baseball athlete

Example: 16 YO 5’11 and 195 lbs

Calories: 3,600–3,800 kcal/day (growth + training recovery)

💪Protein: 160–195 g/day (spread over 4–6 feedings)

⚡️Carbohydrates: 4–6 g/kg = 350–530 g/day for glycogen & explosive power

🧠Fat: 80–110 g/day for hormones & joint health

Why nutrition matters as a baseball player? 👇

🍠Carbs keep reaction times sharp, legs explosive for base running, and arm velocity high.

🥩Protein repairs muscle tissue from strength training, throwing, and hitting.

🥑 Healthy fats reduce inflammation from repetitive movements and aid hormone production (key for a growing teen athlete ).

🍉Consistent fueling prevents late-game fatigue and keeps performance steady over long tournaments.
