Bow pose is a powerful addition to any stretching routine. Bow pose increases the flexibility of the entire spine.  Baseball (as well as all of life's activities!) require some degree of spinal flexion (forward bending). A baseball fielder's constant forward and anticipatory ready position puts continuous regular stress on their spines. 

Bow Pose helps to open the lungs, vertebrae and hip flexors, which are often very tight in athletes. This gives baseballers greater spinal flexibility and rotation with less strain.  YES PLEASE!
