Fielding Drill for Any Age

Follow if you learn ➡️ This drill is simple but works the most important things

Big fan of drills that are simple enough that players of any age can do…that’s also work fundamentals because fundamentals are the things that happen most

If you can do them well, you’ll stink. If you are nice with the fundys, then you are a good player 🤷🏻‍♂️

Here’s what I like about this drill:

1️⃣ single leg stability. Right leg needs to get low to get glove low. Balance on rear leg is crucial in fielding, hitting and pitching (I’d actually like these players a little lower here)
2️⃣ timing left foot. Timing in infield is so overlooked. Im@looking for left foot landing into rockstep/gas pedal smoothly. Teaching the right-left last two steps is crucial
3️⃣ momentum. Shuffling towards 1B…the target for most plays
4️⃣ hold the finish. Mainly looking for staying engaged in hips, athletic stance, and good power (throwing) positions. I could’ve coached things here, but keeping it simple to start

I coach fundamentals of infield and hitting weekly on zoom. Just go to my page to join 😁😁

This was from my clinic in Fort Worth Texas almost 2 years ago! Shoutout @fwcbaseball_ !
