Key comment: "If you're just going to wait to field at practice, you're not going to be a good fielder." Too often people are afraid to tell kids they're not going to be good. Great info and honesty.

A bad hop and a Sunday hop are the same. The difference is your relationship to it. My old coach used to tell us, “choose the hop, don’t let the hop choose you”!

No wonder my game tanked in Jr college. My coaches never taught anything close to this stuff. Now my son is into baseball and the knowledge sharing is amazing! Great job guys!

Best infield video I ever watched , currently in bed wanting to go field some ground balls now 😭

Perfect video to help explain how it's done. I always fielded this way but now coaching I could never explain how I'm doing what I'm showing my 10 year old kids. Now being able to explain how its done right is going to help tremendously. Thanks for the in depth videos fellas.

Definitely very informational. I myself have caught myself instead practicing a back step just giving space for forward motion. Now i have something new to practice and hopefully improve my game as a shortstop. Thanks for the video

As a current baseball instructor who used to watch these videos in college, you guys are right on. Keep it up!!

Wow…best infield glove and footwork advice!!! Thank you for sharing

Genius!

Matt's the best

This one was solid! Shared with the boys

Lacrosse balls and a wall 💪

Agreed 💯

Tip 1, get your body in front of the ball that way IF it falls out of your glove or you get a short hopped you misjudge, the ball will fall in front of you. Tip 2, learn to field with a ping pong paddle on your hand instead of a glove. It teaches you how to have soft hands. I'm amazed to find out the an intermediate hop is in between a short and long hop.

Damn this was next level advice. Huuuuge difference in my fielding game after moving to 2B from 3B.

Well like you said you have to read the hop because if it's a slow roller then your taught to charge the ball but it's easier said than done. See I played first base and if your a corner infielder you have to react very quickly

"Change the spin up" such a vastly under rated statement! Top spin back spin turf grass dirt all variables

Parallax is the word you guys are looking for when recommending viewing the ball's trajectory from the side.

Short hop or long hop, and what’s in between? A bad hop! 🥴

You know that dude is a phenomenal fielder with that tiny glove. he wants to feel the ball. that ball never gets past him I guarantee! That's all I had to see in this video to know he understands what he's talking about!

What's the name of that glove your practicing with

Where do I get one of those tiny gloves?

How does this apply to a left handed first baseman?

Good question. In that case I would assume it would be determined by where the play is.

what mit is he using. which version

The ending was like the after credits of a Marvel movie. The best part! 🤣

One question, I'm still new to understanding glove sizes. I wonder why the gloves you're using are small compared to what I normally would see. I am a little familiar now about there are gloves for infield, outfield, certain bases. Are these for practice or are they normal?

Infielders typically have smaller gloves for quicker transfers. Can't have an infielder digging deep into the pocket trying to get the ball out.

Do you get to the left as a lefty?

This drill of coming around the ball is to get your momentum moving towards first as you are fielding it. You would still be moving to the right and curving toward first if you are lefty playing infield

Hi you are awesome

We teach dragging a foot to help time up rockets or bloops its not for everyone but the talented pick it up

How’s this work when the balls coming 100 plus miles an hour and you have less than 1.5 seconds before it gets to you at 3rd base?

Watch some MLB highlights and see these skills in action.

Sooo, if a ball is hit to my left.... I should first go right then go back to my left???

Matt would know about throwing the ball into the stands... ooooooohhhh!

I miss playing ball.

I've always called this ball control. Control where you catch the ball. Be in charge of the ball. Dictate its energy...

Antonelli is a DAWG..

Did he say A-Boot?

Ask A.I. about practice, John. He will tell you a whole lot about practice, I mean practice, man….

AI's friend died and he missed one practice, the day after the funeral, to grieve.

Why doesn't his glove fit him.

It does, shift fingers in glove. Pointer in middle finger slot middle finger in ring spot and ring and pinky in pinky slot. Opens up hand for better catching and control. No finger in pointer finger slot.

Still. Waiting for something thatt we don't teach already

No you fielders need to imitate Brooks Robbinson. Which is throwing hand behind the glove square your hips to the ball(ball would be going straight at you) glove between you and the ball move towards the ball. Trust me imitate brooks robbinson, gold glove winning player.
