You are still a little young to be lifting weights;however, at around 14 or 15 it is usually safe for kids to start lifting depending on their development in adolesence. What I recommend before you start lifting is go to your doctor and see how much room in left in your growth plates. If you have a lot of room in the doctors opinion and you still have more height coming then it may be best that you hold off another year until you are 15 to start lifting weights.

Personally I recommend plyometrics to my clients who are at your stage in life, and other body exercises that bring good overall fitness. This will workout your entire body while making you more explosive in the process which is what you need to be a successful ballplayer. You will hit the ball with greater velocity and be quicker to the ball in the field.

I have created a website service that is adding information daily about baseball and techniques and best practices. I suggest you take a look at it and feel free to email me with any questions at [e-mail]. This is a professional service that I provide for the public so that we can educate kids just like you who are trying to pursure their dreams. Good luck and hope to hear from you.
