Ground Ball Work - Mike Candrea

[@vanessamalik7078]

Omg so clean . It was beautiful watching them

[@percywearspurple]

From a coach's perspective this video can't be topped. Candrea throwing the perfect groundball every time...

[@JuNe-ne6yx]

These intensive and repetitious trainings quite moving in a sense. Thank you for uploading!

Great ideas, i love a fast tempo practice to keep the girls mentally engaged and to get used to things happening at a fast pace.

[@jwrsob]

Not sure why 92 people dont like this...looks very thorough!!

[@echobase1648]

Probably from UCLA....

[@rafi1708]

Actually thats how a firstbase is supposed to cover first when a catcher, pitcher or 3rd baseman fields the ball that hasn't crossed the mount yet. So what they are doing is correct. This is done this ways so that: 1) the player throwing gets a better target. 2) the 1st baseman can be in better position to react to a bad throw by not having to face the throw sideways. Instead they are waiting for the throw face on. 3) this way they can avoid a collision with the runner on a bad throw to first.

[@fannycell]

oh my god, i would love to practice with them at least once in my life!

[@ELDoro]

Its quicker to come side-arm. Softball dimensions are closer so quickness is essential. In baseball quickness is also important but the longer throw requires a stronger throw.

[@Bainer55]

Not one mess up the whole video..well done girls

[@softballkid00]

it doesn't matter what you think because Crystal Bustos is one of the greatest softball players who ever lived. She would beast your ass in a second and probably has more respect as an Olympian, batter, third basemen, ball player in general, and person than you ever will. Real ball fans, softball or baseball, would have nothing but love and respect for a player like her.

[@nickwheeler4380]

I’m running this with my 8U kids love it.

[@ryanrivera3637]

what kind of 8U kids do you have? the ones I got can barely make a throw halfway heh

[@L.I.L.Y16]

2020 baby!!

[@andrewblack2068]

That is very true and works well. As a first baseman I couldn't understand on how to cover 1 on a bunt.

[@ThekiBoran]

In the drill the ladies have the opportunity to cover first base properly. Many of the ladies have their foot on the middle of the bag when they cover first. I even saw Brandon Belt of the Giants with his foot up on the bag when he took a throw from the panda.

[@Esteb86]

I'm definitely going to use this drill at our next clinic.

[@TriKyTriXx]

Great video. Lisa Fernandez, best ever.

[@bluestraveler50]

Excellent drill thanks!

[@ELDoro]

This is crazy good stuff. Gunna adapt this a bit for my baseball team.

[@vicjose]

These girls are badass

[@OkieMikester]

This was the A team. So good!

[@ericalopez6439]

Lisa Fernandez all time favorite!!

[@cjboss100]

in softball is it better to throw side arm? In baseball my coach wants us to come over

[@SmokesWorld]

They're doing ok but i can't stand the way they are dropping their elbows when throwing the ball! Is it different for soft ball then base ball or what?

[@aletheiaz1576]

This is great stuff

[@edricllarena3657]

Great video

[@softballdan4218]

Nice drills

[@lakehouse10061]

Sounds like someone's a little intimidated @hammerjezabel

[@biblical_dreams]

[@grayg6875]

Andrea Duran is my hero!!!!

[@khalifla5990]

I make my 11u boys team do this... It's great

[@L.I.L.Y16]

[@shirenealex]

[@Natureelder]

Very nice

[@L.I.L.Y16]

She’s my cousin

[@wjelliott220]

Bustos

[@MCuliver30]

awesome drills. but majority of those girls will eventually hurt their arm with that bad throwing stride

[@ThePapayaKing]

Not in baseball. You always use your throwing-side foot on the bag in baseball. I'm not talking about being sideways. You can (and should be) be square to the throw with either foot on the bag. 1B shouldn't stretch or reach until the throw is on the way and they know where it's going. But, in baseball, you never cover first with your glove-side foot. You reduce your ability to adjust to the throw by about 50 percent.

[@warsaw26baseball]

I'm sure she's a great softball player, and I do have respect for that. I was simply making a joke.

[@Ulyssalawls]

it way faster. instead of picking the ball up all the way over your shoulder is faster to make a quick side throw

[@GrimmyDee]

While it is faster, you tend to sacrifice accuracy with a side-arm throw.

[@MCuliver30]

It just looks like it

[@ANGELxGIRL115]

i know I dont really remember being on this video though

[@warsaw26baseball]

It's a little late for that.

[@mikedo6]

I double dog dare ya to tell her that! :)

[@VonMilash]

@kroban3 you're insane. a snowball has a better chance in hell.

[@stanleylok24]

So you are telling me those MLB players are doing it wrong.

[@ThePapayaKing]

Are softball players taught to cover first differently than baseball players? Because these women obviously know what they're doing, but every single one of them covered first with the "wrong" foot on the bag - from a baseball standpoint, that is.

[@warsaw26baseball]

You can't tell me 1:41 is a girl.

[@jacksonhall3355]

1:42 no way thats a girl???

[@ThekiBoran]

I wish women would play baseball. If a woman is ever going to play in one of the 4 big league sports it'll be baseball.

[@ThePapayaKing]

Unless you're planning on catching the ball with your bare hand, none of what you're saying makes any sense. Try it next time you're on the field.

[@luis74527]

hahahahahahaha!

[@rwilliams79]

dead wrong.

[@warsaw26baseball]

Hell no! lmao

[@ANGELxGIRL115]

wow dude thats a girl you obviously shouldnt be here if your going to dis respect people

[@mollycombs5584]

lmao they copied baseball then they started throwing like them sidearm

[@heatherchambers8141]

What are you talking about?

[@mollycombs5584]

I'm talking about how they copied baseball softball is to easy

[@danyellemilam2804]

+Molly Combs softball is not easy. people who say that have either never played or are too jealous that they can't play.
