Or you could just do squats and lunges, which everyone knows works best.

Are you familiar with box squats and how to do them properly (e.g. sitting back onto the box, slight pause, flared knees, etc.)?

 

[jonesBones40]

Try and touch your ars to the ground on squats

And get down like you're in the bottom of a squat (catcher position) and walk around, you'll feel like a fool but it will help build those hip flexors. Also jump from the position to improve reaction time that is ideal as a catcher. Good luck bro, I got these from my high school baseball coach who fosters tons of college athletes and a couple professional athletes (Brandon Nimmo)

 

[R1balla]

when i played football, i would do squats and deads then go on the field and with a 35lb bar on my back do squat jumps and lunges down the field and back

Maybe if you are afraid of the squat rack or there is some idiot doing curls in it. Otherwise there is no excuse for not including squats or lunges into any leg workout.
