This 1 Trick Will Make Your Infielders 10x Better! (WORKS LIKE MAGIC!) + 3 Bonus Infield Drills!

[@raelsackey104]

A bad hop and a Sunday hop are the same. The difference is your relationship to it. My old coach used to tell us, “choose the hop, don’t let the hop choose you”!

[@wesleyturner1979]

No wonder my game tanked in Jr college. My coaches never taught anything close to this stuff. Now my son is into baseball and the knowledge sharing is amazing! Great job guys!

[@chadedmondson3452]

[@cekemppa4044]

Key comment: "If you're just going to wait to field at practice, you're not going to be a good fielder." Too often people are afraid to tell kids they're not going to be good. Great info and honesty.

[@erock10]

Perfect video to help explain how it's done. I always fielded this way but now coaching I could never explain how I'm doing what I'm showing my 10 year old kids. Now being able to explain how its done right is going to help tremendously. Thanks for the in depth videos fellas.

[@scottysanders9321]

Definitely very informational. I myself have caught myself instead practicing a back step just giving space for forward motion. Now i have something new to practice and hopefully improve my game as a shortstop. Thanks for the video

[@YoooItsRex]

As a current baseball instructor who used to watch these videos in college, you guys are right on. Keep it up!!

[@FastDuDeJiunn]

guess thats why i good at fielding. the hops i did by instinct. short- long hops. but all the rest was new to me. and i learned a lot. great video

[@joevaldez21]

Love both of y’all’s channels keep up the awesome job guys

[@YouGoPro]

Thank you will do!

[@Jellyf4m]

Best infield video I ever watched , currently in bed wanting to go field some ground balls now 😭

[@cmarlopt]

Appreciate the love J-Smooth. #LightTowerBaseball #YouGoProBaseball 🐐

[@Halupka5]

Great video. I'll be sharing this with my junior group!

[@7flat9]

The two best baseball instructors!!

[@Rice.Rafael]

Thanks this will Acuatlly help I was ok at fielding but I could never get my those in betweens ones I’ll try this when I’m back on the field

[@Mitten4371]

Well like you said you have to read the hop because if it's a slow roller then your taught to charge the ball but it's easier said than done. See I played first base and if your a corner infielder you have to react very quickly

[@albertopuente1549]

Awesome details! Thanks for this video

[@randydiaz413]

Wow here from CostaRica 🇨🇷 man this video is fire 🔥 wow vere helpful...

[@ausquiano29]

Wow…best infield glove and footwork advice!!! Thank you for sharing

[@BlueWaterTeno]

Nice vid! Compact and full of good stuff!

[@YouGoPro]

Thank you

[@mikeysbestfriend6496]

Excellent video. Thanks

[@lucaspriesendorf251]

Awesome video on some basics as well as advanced stuff!!!

[@beastmode6663]

It's this useful for softball as well... I'm thinking yes but just looking for other thoughts

[@dero0808]

Yes, for sure. The only difference in my opinion is fast pitch is quicker than baseball … 70 ft bases vs 90 ft means the infielders need to get through the ball and throw very quickly.

[@crash6581]

Tip 1, get your body in front of the ball that way IF it falls out of your glove or you get a short hopped you misjudge, the ball will fall in front of you. Tip 2, learn to field with a ping pong paddle on your hand instead of a glove. It teaches you how to have soft hands. I'm amazed to find out the an intermediate hop is in between a short and long hop.

[@doctorpete1]

This guy is awesome!

[@benjenkincpa]

Excellent video - very helpful

[@allenuconn]

Exceptional advice!

[@danNat978]

Matt's the best

[@billybambao1086]

Damn this was next level advice. Huuuuge difference in my fielding game after moving to 2B from 3B.

[@EquityCall]

More Matt

[@sonnyjackson883]

Awesome trick!

[@toddlu3365]

"Change the spin up" such a vastly under rated statement! Top spin back spin turf grass dirt all variables

[@cdreyes81]

One question, I'm still new to understanding glove sizes. I wonder why the gloves you're using are small compared to what I normally would see. I am a little familiar now about there are gloves for infield, outfield, certain bases. Are these for practice or are they normal?

[@bobganoosh5520]

Infielders typically have smaller gloves for quicker transfers. Can't have an infielder digging deep into the pocket trying to get the ball out.

[@dlaface7237]

They are using trainer gloves

[@toddlu3365]

This one was solid! Shared with the boys

[@Waogo]

Parallax is the word you guys are looking for when recommending viewing the ball's trajectory from the side.

[@502outdoors]

Where do I get one of those tiny gloves?

[@YouGoPro]

ugoprobaseball.com/product-category/valle-training-gloves/

[@delusional9282]

Lacrosse balls and a wall 💪

[@jettriggs]

You know that dude is a phenomenal fielder with that tiny glove. he wants to feel the ball. that ball never gets past him I guarantee! That's all I had to see in this video to know he understands what he's talking about!

[@TEX-704]

Short hop or long hop, and what’s in between? A bad hop! 🥴

[@doreenmowers9728]

How does this apply to a left handed first baseman?

[@YouGoPro]

Good question. In that case I would assume it would be determined by where the play is.

[@carnelldavis241]

What's the name of that glove your practicing with

[@dedriccorley1170]

Sooo, if a ball is hit to my left.... I should first go right then go back to my left???

[@barrycriswell8967]

We teach dragging a foot to help time up rockets or bloops its not for everyone but the talented pick it up

[@Nick-NY]

Genius!

[@ryanthomas8955]

Do you get to the left as a lefty?

[@gavinb5249]

This drill of coming around the ball is to get your momentum moving towards first as you are fielding it. You would still be moving to the right and curving toward first if you are lefty playing infield

[@EdwardCurrent]

Matt would know about throwing the ball into the stands... ooooooohhhh!

[@roboboil1648]

How’s this work when the balls coming 100 plus miles an hour and you have less than 1.5 seconds before it gets to you at 3rd base?

[@owlxxx]

Watch some MLB highlights and see these skills in action.

[@mylesprather5653]

what mit is he using. which version

[@positively_broad_st3780]

I've always called this ball control. Control where you catch the ball. Be in charge of the ball. Dictate its energy...

[@frankdominguez1690]

Agreed 💯

[@miguelseguinot856]

The ending was like the after credits of a Marvel movie. The best part! 🤣

[@jorgep1093]

Antonelli is a DAWG..

[@dmgnwk]

I miss playing ball.

[@hansenz]

Hi you are awesome

[@baton7993]

Yesssir

[@Pronzini1]

Did he say A-Boot?

[@ikg2004]

Why doesn't his glove fit him.

[@jonathancoryguinther3967]

It does, shift fingers in glove. Pointer in middle finger slot middle finger in ring spot and ring and pinky in pinky slot. Opens up hand for better catching and control. No finger in pointer finger slot.

[@JonKelso-xk7ct]

Two in the pink bro

[@dero0808]

He has huge hands … I think that glove is a 11.75

[@187Overkillah]

Ask A.I. about practice, John. He will tell you a whole lot about practice, I mean practice, man….

[@Bruss813]

AI's friend died and he missed one practice, the day after the funeral, to grieve.

[@christopherspohn8071]

No you fielders need to imitate Brooks Robbinson. Which is throwing hand behind the glove square your hips to the ball(ball would be going straight at you) glove between you and the ball move towards the ball. Trust me imitate brooks robbinson, gold glove winning player.

[@jdhoward121212]

If you can’t read a ball then you probably aren’t an infielder

[@barrycriswell8967]

Still. Waiting for something thatt we don't teach already
