Sorry for the late response. If you email us at [email protected], we can send you the attachment. When these videos were first published, they were on our website which allowed attachments. Now that the videos are on KZbin, obviously we can't attach anything.

Glad you liked it!

Hope it helps!

Ha! There is something that translates to baseball in almost every sport there is!

Judge the drill for what it is and how it can help baseball players, instead of being so shallow in judging this excellent coach.

Yes. What's in the video is legal and used frequently at the college level

@@figureitoutbaseball thanks

That's not what Coach Wilson instructed to do. Watch the video again. He's an excellent instructor - not only a great player himself, but also a long-time D1 Head Coach and the father of a Big Leaguer.

We will do our best to get some 1-knee catching video made. Thanks for the suggestion!

Thanks for the compliment! We're still a relatively new channel, but people are starting to find us!

We're glad you found it useful! Nutrition is a very under-appreciated part of youth athletics

That's what we're shooting for! Thank you for the feedback.

You bet! A lot more nutrition videos coming to KZbin, and a lot to search on figureitoutbaseball.com as well!

Yes, too many people try to overcomplicate hitting when keeping it simple and fundamentally sound is what works at all levels 👍

@@figureitoutbaseball 100% spot on. Love your vids keep ‘em coming!!

There are two videos in this video series, and this is video 2 of 2. Here is a link to the first video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j6Kam5l4q8ikY7s. You can also go to our website, which is easier to navigate and easier to find videos.

Thank you for the kind words!

Also shouldn’t an infielder field a ground ball with two hands for better handling and faster transfer?

@@ryancostorf5114if you watch the MLB, athletic plays are made with glove hand only. This is because 2 hands can sometimes limit your range. Routine ground balls and turning double plays should be made with 2 hands if possible for quickest transition though

So the two hands is good for within range quick transition to throwing action depending on situation, but as mentioned by the other response that is dependent on range and more often that not you’re going to prioritize glove hand range of motion and adaptability. The limiter on the play starts with securing the ball glove first, any optimizations for a quicker set of actions are luxuries as considerations after securing ball in glove hand. But in an ideal world, you get to square up and get to have an easy shift in momentum towards ball destination while keeping glove hand and throwing hand close for that quick transition. So you practice footwork, reads, and that form to expand your “ideal” situation range, but in more dynamic situations as the players level up, more often you’re limit testing and need maximum range on glove hand to make plays. And on most plays one can square up, tends to be easier and not needing as much speed. The one quick example of hard play that can optimize for quick hands, is when charging in and having great breakdown approach footwork to square up, it’s possible to make 2 hands a fundamental consideration. Sorry for rant, baseball is fun. Great video for a drill framework, hoping to take this and see how I can adapt it for my players 🎉

Ryan, good point. Fielders should use two hands when they are making a catch that will also require a transfer and a potential throw. When making tag plays, catching a fly ball (or ground ball) on the run, etc. the fielder remains much more athletic and maximizes range of reach when using one hand only. However, even when "using two hands," the second hand is just meant to be close to the glove, allowing for a quick exchange of the ball from glove hand to throwing hand, as opposed to having the throwing hand strictly touching the glove hand, per se.

This one is more about creating direction than it is strength training, so mix this in with your normal drills. If you get 8-12 reps in per day, you will start to see and feel a difference after a few weeks of work

Great drill for staying through the ball!

5-8 reps per drill should be the sweet spot, but can be varied depending how heavy the med balls are for the kids

Should you do this from both sides of the plate?

Those hitters had tremendous strike zone discipline

@@figureitoutbaseball if they could reach it with their bats it was hitable. Of course they weren’t trying to knock all their shots out of the park. A single or double would suffice.

KZbin is obviously an easy place to watch these videos, but we've got about twice as many videos with easier search functions in the website if you want to check it out: www.figureitoutbaseball.com
