Baseball is an anaerobic sport without doubt. Many coaches still do not understand this concept. Baseball requires explosive speed, quickness and agility, which are all anaerobic qualities. Baseball is also anaerobic when it comes to batting. There are long periods of rest between plays. Sprints between bases are 30 yards. Most runs to catch a ball in the outfield are not over 30 yards. Training players aerobically will slow them down and reduce their performance. Excessive distance training can also lead to exhaustion and increased incidence of injuries.
