Any umpire that reacts to framing should not be an umpire.....EOD.
this helps a lot had a bad game today and my team got super mad at me i was really mad at myself too but now that i know this i will get better at recovering from my mistakes
wow this is the shittiest edit i've ever seen. no surprise this channel died lol.
This is a great video. Short concise and awesome demonstration.
Great vid
Yup! In the classroom and the field. Notice I said classroom first. Great info.
Excellent video. I was playing 2nd once, taking the throw from the left fielder on a runner trying to stretch a single into a double. I sort of lost track of the bag, as he suggested. I caught the ball, turned back to the bag, and it was a little farther away than I thought! Leaning back to get the tag down, I lost my balance and went down. Ugly, but I got the tag down and he slid right into it. Did I mention the ugly part? Boy, I got it from my teammates.
Thanks. Literally couldn't figure out what I was watching during rundowns yesterday It was so wrong I couldn't even identify the main problem. This helped a ton, just simple like I remember it as a player. I know the principal is the same, but would love to see one for between second and third.
Still helping kids to this day! My son was striking out and whiffing. We practiced these techniques and 6 months later he is the best hitter on the team. I can literally point to this video as to when everything changed.
That's so awesome!
Is this intended to be coach led or player led similar to the catch routine? Player led seems more efficient but plenty of coaching opportunities here especially for the young guys.
Still around? What size glove do you recommend for a 12yo middle infielder?
5-5. Unforgettable. 👍
Great video
I’m not 5
Watch this
This video is amazing!!! Most people just don’t know that this video is gold!!!
Thank you for the kind words. I hope it's helpful
So is everyone in one big group working through the stations? or do you break them up in to 4 groups? Seems like one group would be starting at the harder station and working out of order of the progression?
That was my thought exactly. Because if they start at the 1st base drill, which is the full on grounders, then they end on the lighter one...
I never work as one big group. I wouldn't over think it. When you try to over-engineer things and worry about progression, you wind up wasting time. With myt ravel team we do 4 hitting stations and then live BP. Ideally I'd want them to all start and go through the cycle, but when you have limited time, I don't worry a bout it. With my Little League teams you're lucky ifyou get 1 practice a week. Gotta maximize that time and keep the kids moving or they get bored and easily distracted.
Thank you hope my coach lets me do this before games
With a lefty up to bat, bunt to 3rd. Runner on 1st steals on the pitch. If the bunt gets down correctly, runner on first goes all the way to 3rd, which is many times unoccupied, especially with the defense shown here. If the bunt doesn't get down, the pitch will be a difficult one to catch the runner stealing as well. The video shows the typical especially with a slow runner on first. My example requires a fast runner and lefty hitter.
Thank u...these tips definitely help
This is awesome!! Great job for someone new.
Good point about not distracting the pitcher by being late to setup
Thanks Ryan. Love the tip for receiving the low pitch
I find it funny you use a hose as an example cuz I do the same thing at work for an example for bad cable (work for a cable company)
Yeah that's a great example too
Thanks Doug. Will be using this all year in our catch/throw routine!
That's awesome to hear! Keep me updated on how it goes or if you have any questions
Great video. I remember when I finally realized that if I was gonna be a really good coach to my kids, I was gonna have to practice too. And fungo is one for me that if I don't practice, I'm really bad at it.
Was that back in the clink, prison Mike?
@@nvjakobek Yeah, it was. I had to make a ball out of my hair to play with. And eat gruel sandwiches. With chains on my legs!!!
Excellent tutorial on setting up, taking a throw and making the tag. And the emphasis on how vital a single play can be in the playoffs is spot on! I just witnessed Ozzie Albies of the Braves take the throw from catcher in an attempted steal of second by a Phillies runner. Albies positioned himself in front of second base and the Phillie runner slid past the base behind him and reached back to touch second base safely with his hand, while Albies tagged air trying to make a tag. Had he positioned himself as shown in this video, the runner could not have reached second safely in the manner in which he did.
The third point it great if you swing like you would in a game, you just going to hit absolute taters over the fielders heads
Thank you so much! This helped a lot with speeding up my throwing velocity!
So happy to hear that!
PBI has the best info. Great resource for coaches of all levels. Would still love to see Doug partner up with a pro or former pro to make an outfield program like he did for catching with Lavarnway.
You make it look so easy. Thanks for the tips
All this tee training destroys hitters ability to hit pitches in game.
Can u do this but for the outfielders?😊
We have follow-along drill videos that include pop flies, but the whole batch of videos is mostly focused on either infield specific glovework or overall hand-eye coordination. But the nice thing about having the rebounder is you can change the angle to practice pop-flies.
Where can I purchase the “Larry Sherry” pitch back?
Here's the rebounder in the video. It's the best of all we've tried so far. Love it baseballinsider.samcart.com/products/3x3-rebounder/
All the years I’ve been doing this, this is the best detailed explanation I’ve ever heard.
Awesome! Glad you're using this concept already. Would you agree it makes a huge difference? I love how it activates the eyes, the glove, the coordination... everything feels better when doing these types of routines daily
Yo but what’s the answer bro. Thanks.
It may only seem like 2nd base is further back because you are not facing the batter directly. You are at an angle. 2nd base is a direct 90 degree angle and is measured 90 feet from the middle distance of 1st on the foul line to the middle middle of 2nd. Exactly in line making a 90 degree square.
90 feet is measured from the back of home plate to the back of the first base bag. So if you measured from the back corner of first base to second base the 127’ 3 & 3/8 inches (from home plate to 2nd base) should be at the back edge of the base. But, you will find that the distance puts you right in the middle of second base. I know there are leagues that are considering moving 2nd base up so it’s completely in the 90 foot square but as of right now second base is not completely lined up. I have no idea why and in all honesty it doesn’t make a whole lot of sense.
Sweet to see another upload man!
Thanks like the video series really helps structure and focus practice to help them improve
Weekend warriors 😂
Great insight and technique! We have a little catcher in the making. Thanks for sharing this invaluable information and best of luck to you throughout the rest of your baseball career!
Great advice and teachings !
Cooool
There is another part of the equation that no one addresses. Which one of one's eyes is dominant, left or right? Example; if a person bats right and his left eye dominate more than likely his timing of the bat swing and location of the ball is improved versus the same hitter that would be right eye dominate. The same vice versa if one bats left and is right dominate their location of the ball and timing of their bat swing is more naturally acute.
I've seen it being taught like you have a cone pointing towards the pitcher. So you're always moving it towards the middle and towards the pitcher. I guess it may be harder for the ump to see glove movement if it's towards the pitcher as well as back to the middle. Thanks for the video
