- Great blocking/reaction drill with limited space using the vector ball for vision training. Color dictares the base for recovery (items on the ground match the color/base) 🟢 = 3B, 🔵 = 2B, 🔴 = 1B
00:00 - Awesome drill from @goodrocatching we’ve integrated into our warm up. Short hop receiving from different stances with a runner call. Working landing softly while transitoning, with a timely/controlled pre-pitch. @HernandezJedier
00:00 - Couldn’t be more grateful to get to work with such amazing people! Thank you @coachmegsmith for the opportunity!! GO HEELS 🐏 🩵Rounding out our staff with the addition of Jorge Solodkin who will serve as the Tar Heels' Director of Sports Performance! Welcome to Chapel Hill, Jorge! 🔗: bit.ly/SolodkiUNCSB #GoHeels
- Great drill from @JWonCATCHING and @goodrocatching . Gave our catchers a great visual and emphasized consistent release with tight backspin.
00:00 - No better way to explain the feel of knee down blocking than this Austin Hedges video. (Taken from @goodrocatching ) Shinguard is your point of mobility. Weight distribution and part of knee on the ground is a difference maker. Our warmup is centered around creating this feel
00:00 - Love this drill from @goodrocatching - working uphill to really feel the backside coming through. Made the throw with no mound after feel much easier after. @Arty_dubs8 - St. Joe’s (Montvale) ‘24
00:00 - Part 1 of @Curtcasali pregame routine with @CraigAlbernaz - Throwing progression. -Reverse throws -pivot pickoffs -pickoffs -weighted driveline baseball throws up to about 90 feet -long toss with a regular baseball 120+ feet -arm slot throws
00:00 - (1/2) Cool blocking drill based on this Yadi drill posted a couple of years ago. My interpretation of the drill at the time was to emphasize deadening the ball & help catchers really work on moving hips better (getting into deeper ranges of motion than usual).
00:00 - Beyond excited for this opportunity! Thank you to @CoachChurchill for this opportunity. Time to get to work and build something special @SHUSoftball !! #HALLin
- Saw this video of Roberto Perez earlier this year courtesy of @goodrocatching . When teaching young players the scap load aka “bow&arrow”, this is a great tool - young throwers tend to rush and push ball or get hand below it = weaker throw. Great warm up drill prior to throwing
