Such a good heads up play by the razorbacks. The excitement and knowledge college baseball provides is unreal. Watch the game kids, youβll learn a lot.
We love us some short distance fungo for our outfield reads. Working on our first step. (No , your first step isnβt always back). Read & React. Better to do these short distance as itβs less time to read the ball than in game.Train harder than the competition

Young players, just remember the next time your coach asks you to play Outfield that 4 out of the top 5 picks in this years draft were Outfielders π€·πΎββοΈπ€·πΎββοΈ

Get asked this question a lot about ground balls and which way is better. They are both good but all depends on the read of the ball.

βWhere hits are laid to restβ
Yes, footwork cone drills are great but how do you actually measure if an OF can really play?

Coaches: Just remember the next time you are in charge of covering outfield play that this position is just as important as the others. π
Players: just because you played SS in HS doesnβt mean your college coach wonβt move you to the OF, especially if you can hitπ£
