Infield Drills To Pick the Right Hop

[@h8ter4eva9]

Hey Matt. Just want to say that your vids really help a lot and have improved my infielding so much! Just wanted to let ya know. ⚾️ 👍🏼

[@tombergstrand1417]

Getting to the right side of the ball is brilliant and something I never thought about. Reminds me of an outfielder playing the ball to one side or the other to get a better read. I was a pitcher and that's all reaction. Will definitely incorporate this into my daughter's infield work. Thank you.

[@AntonelliBaseball]

For sure!!! Good luck to your daughter. Thanks so much for watching!!!

[@robira1313]

Beautifully explained! Can these same rules apply to softball as well?

[@gilbertoherrera1492]

Great vid as always...I will say I chuckled when you said Coach will fungo on the 2nd hop as I thought, easier to do on turf not so much on grass and dirt.

[@AntonelliBaseball]

[@jordansmith2186]

Can I send you a couple videos of me fielding and tell me if I’m reading my hops correctly and keeping my feet moving ?

[@icemanpatino9071]

Great insight Matt thanks for sharing!

[@AntonelliBaseball]

Thanks!! Thanks so much for watching!!!

[@Shea_F1]

I'm a little late on this but is this the same for lefty's? Or would they go to the left side to keep their glove in the middle?

[@UpswingBaseball]

Interesting... Never heard of getting to the right of the ball🤔 Great tips

[@AntonelliBaseball]

Please do a video on 0-2 hitting while against a fast pitcher!

[@AntonelliBaseball]

[@jaydenmagicmike788]

My son plays third base and he gets a lot of hard it balls that are bouncing what drills should I do to help him to field those ball cleanly

[@rslwannabe9475]

good video

[@jbrewer1272]

excellent!

[@AntonelliBaseball]

Thanks! Thanks for watching!

[@RobKandell]

Do you always get to the right, or to the glove side?

[@AntonelliBaseball]

Pretty much always try to get to the right of the ball. Unless you are throwing to the right. Thanks for watching!

[@tylerferguson4251]

It’s working around the ball so that you get a better angle for the hops and you will also gain some momentum too towards first base, so you’re feet aren’t just staying still.

[@RobKandell]

Gotcha, so a 1B or 2B would go to the left if turning a double play?

[@christopherkadishcreative7220]

@@RobKandell pretty much play in in the center. You want as little distance between the ball and the ss as possible; don't create a backhand situation for yourself. At 2nd, can try to move (on an easy bounce) just a little left of ball to assist your throwing hand, but just a little. Have fun!

[@girolamonapoli4364]

I love it bro.. you answer everything I ever was curious about.. I'm the one who emailed you about playing with Nady haha

[@AntonelliBaseball]

Haha awesome! Thanks for watching!

[@girolamonapoli4364]

@@AntonelliBaseball we were all wondering when you will do Q&As bro... we all appreciate your time and knowledge

[@Bostonschwagdad]

So try to get to left of ball if you are a left 1B?

[@AntonelliBaseball]

Only if you are throwing to 2B or 3B. Thanks so much for watching!!!

[@shivimgaming6808]

What if the ball is rolling and you really can't tell when its going to hop up?

[@nelquissanches3328]

[@bryanrmcnair01]

Be ONE WITH DA HOPS...LOL Edit:what to do if the coach dont hit the ball into ground for "hops" and hits "dingers" that I call skimmers where kids CANT see to read anything but only hope to get leather on ball and knock it down!

[@AntonelliBaseball]
