I have used this video over the years to help my players. It’s fun stuff

[@justisdaman]

Man i love watching this video just gets me in the mood to go out and take some ground balls

[@seabrook1976]

Me too, but them my 43 year old back and knees are like, nope.

[@midrangetorque]

They all look great...very smooth.

[@TalkLAsports]

That hop is simulating a runner sliding into you. My high school baseball team does that as well. First time i tried it my freshman year it felt wierd cuz nobody was sliding into you but it simulates the runner so in the game you won't be taken out.

[@user-rm9sk7ld9w]

Excellent video, great for training drills, watching pros, nothing better

[@DJG4orze]

So just to set the record straight on the typical thing so common when a baseball instructional video goes up, anywhere, but YT is worst, but since i live in the DFW market and scout for another club in MLB, the guys that so many commented on not doing it the way "we did in HS" lol, i bet your Iowa baseball team is the shit, i get it, but 3 of these guys went on to play in MLB and the short 2nd baseman is Rougned Odor, starting 2nd baseman for Rangers now in 2017. The lanky SS is Jurikson Profar, on the MLB club now as well, and Mike Olt, played 3b for MLB club and traded i think. Point is several of them went on to MLB and they were doing the same thing you would see at most or all of the clubs team work in Spring Training. This is what professional baseball looks like, it is more artistic and free form, instinctual than you're going to see at a HS or even most college programs.

[@agentdiddly]

Don't listen to that other guy I think you're website is on point. Keep doing what your doing.

[@Hidden02]

Makes me miss practice when I played in Florida, I had a blast doing these drills all day in HS. Being a good fielder is all about repetition, once you stop thinking about what your doing is when you're doing it right.

[@rslwannabe9475]

or wrong, very wrong.

[@baseballer21and0]

couple choices. 1 do what ur doin 2 love the outfield and dive for anything you usally cant get 3 get better at infield and talk to your coach

[@TTV.iMontonSoup]

I love the turn on 2B at 2:38

[@DiamondBoy26]

@NomSketch I don't think so. Hamilton has his arms covered with tattoos. And why should he be in the infield, doing infield drills?

[@SwagZinoRast]

this is a realy good infield drills thums up

[@isabelinahernandez2854]

Me gustó esa práctica.

[@flyguy0077]

you have toget the basics right before you increase the intensity. Just like snow-skiing...you don't hit the most difficult slope when your first learning, you gradually work your way to it.

[@KingcamrulesRS]

Infield done right.

[@alexharris1150]

i do the same drills

[@colonary16]

i do the same drills ... they help alot!

[@MrAFJones]

This was VERY extreme.

[@ThisNamesNowTaken]

wait. why am i watching a fielding video on a team that seems to always have the bats but never either the pitching or defense O_o

[@joshlord5102]

its because they do drills like these

[@HighliterStudios]

yes he does, pause around 1:16 he runner was out. PS: *when*

[@angievarona1161]

Ashlie if this is routine that your coaches do only the first day, then you should get new coaches. These are drills that major league infielders do on a daily basis. These are the fundamentals that make you a better infielder. Repetition of good mechanics, daily. Practice, practice practice.

[@SlupergamingTechGaming]

***** These are actually routine drills depending on what level you play, you're prior statements lead me to assume that you don't play travel or rep ball. Thos grounders were coming in slow. I play rep ball (canada term) and i know i would be off the team if i were not capable of executing those plays. double plays and grounders and quick hands are essential.

[@sabriasasalinas]

+Slupergaming yeah but you do them daily at a slower rate to instill good mechanics... Like hitting off a tee the ball isn't moving so it gives you reflection on your hitting.

[@SlupergamingTechGaming]

When you first learn em yeah.

[@sabriasasalinas]

ehh i wouldnt say that lol but do whatever you feel :)

[@johngarcia312]

[@wheelinken]

Trying to look cool I guess

[@djfreakinsteen]

So they don’t get taken out by a runner sliding into second base.

[@nikkokotrba9765]

Is that top tier

aint that some shit? I agree 10,000%... I am so sick of these YThaters....... **that is their mission in life...to attempt to disappoint others**

Why are they throwing side ways...? and fielding with 1 hand instead of two?

[@tonykillz55]

a team from texas called the Texas Rangers (majors lol)

[@rsheed123]

you try to hit a fastball going 95 mph of a beast breaking ball and you catch a ball hit right at you breaking 100 and then talk to to me. thank you :)

[@cdnbzy]

Its not like playing the guitair takes any physical conditioning.

[@baseballer21and0]

yeah haha

[@dpaq831]

wait. why i am watching this video that i thought was suppose to be off ball. my college did these same drills except we did em the right way, ass down, shuffle, two hands, these home boys look like they are doggin it the whole time. #surprised #saywhat #majorleaguechumps

[@jimaldridge8588]

Not 100 percent sure but i believe there are least 2 maybe 3 major league players in this video .. Just saying

[@deogeneslascojr.7256]

This is glorious, I been tryin to find out about "sprinting drills for baseball" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Penonnor Baseball Babaco - (search on google ) ? Ive heard some awesome things about it and my mate got great results with it.

[@jameskid12345]

3 people suck at infield.

[@adamwatkins7517]

Very little good technique demonstrated in this video. Must have been before Ron Washington, he enforces good fundamentals, not this type of peacock technique. Any infielder that trains to play one-handed will likely be joining Ian Desmond in the outfield if they are good enough to hang around.

[@maewuweis1580]

This is what I do I'm 11

[@dixoncider7704]

Adam Watkins ian Desmond was a great infielder he just made a bad descision and no this was during Ron Washington because Ron is a terrible manager

[@adamwatkins7517]

Ian Desmond was never a great infielder. His most recent positional moves show that his bat carried him, not his glove.

[@dixoncider7704]

Adam Watkins good enough to get offered $107,000,000 dollars

[@adamwatkins7517]

For his bat, to play outfield or first base?......Hanley Ramirez is another example of a player that can no longer hold down a middle infield position, but has a good enough bat to find a glorified DH position. And quite honestly, in the today's market, that is just above minimum wage for a veteran player.

[@JUloERA7]

thats dirty, just an infield facility

[@TacoStacks]

These are fundamental, if you play on a pro ball field with bad hops being 1-2 inch differences that happen once every 20 throws. This is a shit show if you do it on mostly any field in America. Especially inner city where the ball won't bounce, go 2 feet the other way, or skip. It becomes more of a hockey drill where all you try to do is make sure the ball doesn't go 10 feet behind ya.

[@chrisberg1735]

Dude, you shouldn't be coaching with that attitude. They were not practicing ground balls, they were practicing the footwork, handwork, etc. It's the fundamentals.
