    With upgraded scouting/video programs I was able to track nearly 329 groundballs from last spring. The first hop occurred in zones 1 and 2 NEARLY 70% of the time. More surprisingly, over 50% of those occurred in zone 1. That’s ONLY 6 feet from the front of the batters box.

    Heel down, toe up is a checkpoint for routine ground balls. Common trait amongst all infield positions Helps create... ✅Direction ✅Gain ground ✅Rhthym ✅Momentum ✅Move through ball Low variable technique 💊💊 #STdrills @CoachYourKids

    TINY THREAD: So often players are told, “throw on the run” but are never shown how. We started looking at film of elite players to show what we are working towards. In this case we are working on “2 step” pattern. 1.Field w/ RF down 2.Transfer w/ LF down 3.Throw w/ RF down

    Consistent targeting of “sweet spot” leads to quicker exchange time ☑️ 2H GB: Catch off base of index/middle finger & bottom of web ☑️ DP ex: Deflect off base of index finger & bottom of web Ball never stops.The player just redirects it @CoachSheets3 @LLefty18

    Professionals are intentional with every rep... ✅ Prep steps ✅ Glove presentation ✅ Feet are always moving ✅ Exaggerate seeing ball in ✅ Belly button transfer ✅ Visualize runners on base Be consistently intentional 💯 #stdrills

    We work back to create space for hops and we work from the side to read them ☑️1/2 clip (long): S Bates works back x2 before working forward ☑️3/4 clip (short): S Bates uses a drop step Image on right: Visual aid when we work from the side of the ball @LLefty18 @INFchatter

    In softball, post catch footwork patterns are often overlooked. Let’s recognize the different types and the why behind each. ➡️ 0, 2, 3, & 4 step patterns are all dictated by the speed of the runner @INFchatter @LLefty18 @CoachSheets3 @ThatGuy__Kai

    When your playing career is over, you won’t be remembered for stats or broken records. Rather you’ll be remembered for the impact you had on others. Whether it was negative or positive, people NEVER forget how you made them feel. Be a great teammate.
