Fielders must take BP reps serious! It’s the most game-like drill that we can provide them with as coaches. 🎥 it can provide us with a lot of great info (prep step timing, prep position, footwork patterns, etc)

Early in my coaching career I taught INFer to eliminate the 🧤 pat before fielding the ⚾️ . My logic was to much movement. I have since learned that some INFers need it to create rhythm to be “on-time”. Coaches learn and adapt! What works for ☝️ person might not work for another

Today I heard the most ridiculous thing. A parent yelled at a player that he was bush league and should go play D3. 1. Don’t talk to kids from the stands. 2. Don’t disrespect the kids that play in other levels besides D1. Some of the best men I’ve been around played D3 or NAIA.

Training game speed isn’t just for hitting and defense—baserunning deserves the same focus. Live reads help prepare players for real-game situations. Every rep counts when you’re building instincts and trust. 🏃🏽 💨

So 6 coaches to 15 players vs Baseball’s 4 coaches to 35 players….Sounds fair. Nice job @NCAA.
Sources: The NCAA has approved that starting on 9/20, two non-coaching staff members in men's and women's basketball can engage in on-court practice activity during the 21-22 season. No more than four coaches and non-coaching staff members combined, may give instruction.

Infield coaches that are looking for a great drill that’s game-like. Side toss fungo gives infielders a live look off the bat and truer spin/game-like hops!.#summercamp2020 #STdrills

With fall season in full swing, coaches this is a great time to look back at last years data to build your developmental plans. Practice according to what you will see in game!

Infielders understand that your positioning depth impacts your prep step❗️. This applies to all 4 INF positions. Infield back = taller more athletic to cover more ground. Infield in = lower start to be prepared to cover less ground and 🚀s right at you

Let’s build our infielders better by practicing what they will see in the game❗️. 3B:. 1️⃣ Get comfortable fielding topspin GBs. 2️⃣ Unlike the middle positions, alot of times you don’t get to choose the hop you get so our glove action is crucial at the hot corner

🗣️ Base stealers . Your lead matters! Make a habit of how you take your lead so you know your lead size. SB % (MLB 2022 season) . 10 ft- 66%.11 ft- 68%.11.5 ft- 70.9%.12 ft- 73.9%.12.5 ft- 74.4%.13 ft- 75.4%. Take into consideration the P’s moves, ⏰ to 🏠 & C’s pop

🚨Base Stealers🚨. Using laser timers, we broke down steal jumps for exact ⏰ when we get our A jump. This gave us valuable insight into why 60times don’t always translate to bags. For some, it’s technique & others, reaction time & reading the P. BR isn’t always about being fast

So many great takeaways from this press conference❗️. 1. It’s a privilege to practice. So practice hard and fast!.2. You create value to your coaches and teammates by practicing hard. 3. Teams require expectations, if you don’t buy in you don’t provide value.

“Let your glove take your feet where they need to go”. We talk about this a lot, we want a quiet pocket right before catch. Some guys like the glove wiggle or flip which is fine but it has to be done early. Pocket 🎯 is key to a clean catch and transfer

Stealing 3B is ALL about MOMENTUM❗️. % doesn’t change much after 16ft (as long as you have momentum) stealing 3B is easier. SB %. 14 ft- 73.5%.16 ft- 83.8%.18 ft- 83.0%.19 ft- 83.8%.19.5 ft- 84.5%.20 ft- 84.8%. Pros. PB/WP & Sac fly away.Pressure on D. Cons. Scoring position @ 2B

1B play = Backbone of the IF. Their job is to make the others in the IF look good. Some 🔑s to being a great. 1️⃣ Be athletic & assume a bad throw. 2️⃣ Work from 🔽 to 🔼. Get the 🧤 on the ground & work North/South not East/West. 3️⃣ 👀 🔽 & follow the ⚾️

Why is this important to know as coaches?. So we can train our infielders for what they will see in the game!.Set up your machines to match the numbers. Don’t be so caught up on hitting a “perfect” fungo, instead help prepare them for the game.

One of my favorite clips for infielders! . Be consistent with your pocket. You create hops with your 👣 and your ✋🏼 🤚🏼 go where your 👀 tell them

Short fungo ▶️ thrown GBs. Love this progression esp. for the corner guys. As a coach shortening the distance increases your accuracy with the fungo while testing the INFer’s ability to read/react to the ⚾️ forcing them to get their 👣 moving right away!

Still in shock & loss for words. I will be forever grateful for the time I got to work w/ Brian. He was one of the greatest baseball minds but an even better person. He bleed black&gold and cared so much for everyone in the program. My thoughts & prayers are with his family. ❤️.
It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of pitching coach Brian DeLunas.

How important is prep step timing? . Here is the perfect drill to show the difference between making a play & not! . Great for working on prep step timing and first step efficiency . Video 1 - on time (landed as the ball is being hit or slightly after). Video 2 - landed early
