I can't get enough of Ron Washington!

[@cedricgist7614]

Shows your humility and wisdom to leave a comment when you have your own channel! I'm 61 years old, and I was a dense, sandlot second baseman with a weak arm that never had "zip" on it. But man, do I appreciate these videos! You guys are teaching the right way and no matter the talent level, encouraging guys and gals to reach their potential. Keep it up!

Folks forget Ron was the same man that helped develop Eric Chavez while he was at Oakland. Chavez always credited his Gold Glove wins to Ron's teaching as the in-field coach at Oakland.

[@KennyG_420]

[@getschwifty9531]

I was just commenting this on the video that led me to this one. Great infield coach and a very unappreciated manager that got too much flack during his tenure with the Rangers.

This is the best infield drill video I have EVER seen. Honestly! Ron Washington is a baseball genius. If you take time and implement this the exact way Mr. Washington is showing us, it really is like magic. “It’s a process, I can’t help you in a couple days….” Awesome!

[@thenext9537]

All I can say is I've watched this video I can't even tell you how many times, for YEARS, I replay it over and over again. It's almost like a self encapsulated instruction video, because of how the line up is, vs crazy glove action going every direction except forward. It's a playbook for young players, and it will give you an edge as I've seen with many kids playing little league. Across the body lost control, feet continue to give balance. Ron is my favorite infield guy of all time. BALL PUT IN PLAY, LAST HOP!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@edwinestrella5869]

Best infield drill ever , this is diamond , this generation has the opportunity to hear this , please take advantage of this young peole

I want Ron Washington as my coach right now. The Braves are blessed to have him.

The greatest compliment- in my opinion- an athlete can receive is that he’s extremely coachable. So dope to see one of baseballs stars doing these types of drills- the act of being coachable. Love it

[@sirmonkey1985]

@@benriffle104 was one of the reasons he decided not to go back into managing since it kept him from being able to do what he enjoyed the most and that was teaching.

[@rubenbarrera9320]

Ron Washington learned from the best. Chico Fernandez was the best infield instructors. I worked 20 years in minor league baseball. Every spring training at Dodgertown (Vero Beach ,FL) I would watch and learn his infield drills. Tony Taylor was another great infield instructor with the Marlins. I hope braves really know how lucky they are with Ron Washington. The braves infielders will improve every year. It would awesome to see all four braves infielders win gold gloves.
