Youth Baseball Fielding Drill Young Players Will Love!

[@charlesmckenna9427]

Thank you! looking for more fun and productive drills for the kids. this is another perfect one

[@shanebaer2901]

Love how you lead with "it has to be fun" especially at this age. Some parents take it a bit too serious and its important to just let a kid be a kid.

[@gavmclemore10]

I made my JV team as a freshman!! Thank you for helping me so much man!

[@Kingbuzz92]

You did that on you’re own bud. Hard work pays off! He just gave you a little guidance.

[@pantherche]

"You don't get points -- that way I win!" Spoken like a true dad there.

[@cubman777]

Love the youth videos. I coach 7-8 year olds and am always looking for material to use.

[@j.anderson5206]

My son is 5, I love all of these videos for kids.

[@lightsout549]

Thanks for all these youth drills! Greatly appreciated

[@schusamp]

Great fundamentals and daddy comments/jokes. Still making it fun for the kids and this drill works for other sports too! The "don't try to tear an ACL" comments are classic!!! Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

[@justnwilson]

Really loving the content for players just getting into the sport. Keep up the great work!

[@jwaight83]

Love your drills Matt. Your page is one of my 4 year olds and myself favorite page on YT.

[@facadevhive]

these youth skills videos are awesome! My son enjoys watching these. Thank you!

[@AntonelliBaseball]

Thanks for watching and I’m glad he enjoys them!!!

[@commentatorincognito8154]

Hey, the turf is in and it's looking good! Glad to see the two of you breaking it in. Congrats and glad you can enjoy a little Dad time with all the work.

[@saveoursecond8738]

Great fundamentals being taught. My 9 year old has a love for baseball. Thank you for your willingness to share.

[@mattlejeune1419]

Hi Matt, I really love this video because Matty, your player, shows his personality like my players do as 7, 8, 9 year-olds. Thank you, keep it up!

[@RiseAboveEric]

Love the vids on baseball development for the kids. My son & I get a lot from these. Thanks!

[@JB-no8de]

Great video on fielding the ball, the right way, using both hands!👍

[@jeanmosquea9539]

Keep making videos! My 7 year old and I are chasing the same dream.

[@AntonelliBaseball]

Thanks and good luck to your son!

[@quallsfamily4192]

I know comments are supposed to be one or two lines... Sorry! But a few extra lines are needed to really say it all. Thank you for the videos for youth players!! My nine year old has never played, other than a few games of catch in the backyard (which bored him more than helped); he decided he wanted to play 10U this year, so I started the search to find a "Beginners Guide to Teaching a Beginner." Your videos gave me a great game plan on how to do just that; and I think the most important tip for me was to always keep it fun, and not coach every rep. In just three weeks, he is catching, fielding and hitting and having great fun in the backyard and at practice! Tonight, after practice, he was super talkative about how he "made an out at First Base by catching the ball on the non-glove hand side!" Much thanks!!! I look forward to more videos, and would request a video on proper throwing techniques to teach.

[@moonlifeSW]

I love your videos. Keep it simple for kids. My 5 year old is a great hitter because of these videos and am going to start working on fielding with him.

[@AntonelliBaseball]

Thanks! And good luck to him!!!

[@warrtrick]

Thank you! Will manage a team for the 1st time, will incorporate this drill with them.

[@Carter_804]

Welp this vidoe was very very helpful! My 5yr old son just started playing baseball a few wks ago. He’s very athletic, so I know once he learns the game and understands what’s going on he’ll be just fine.

[@brentk7004]

Thanks for the video - great stuff. Would love to see a hitting progression you work through with him - tee, front toss, throwing / machine - or any hitting drills you do with a young kid. Thanks again!

[@andrewperez5335]

Games like this is perfect for kids this age thankyou

[@deepzone31]

Great tips! I’ve been trying to stress flat back for kids in this range for a few years but have been failing at the lesson of seeing the ball and the glove. This approach helps A LOT.

[@martindeslugger8048]

At what age (since he's a lefty) will you start prioritizing outfield/1st base training for Matty JR. Love the videos!

[@crakkfuentes74]

Thanks man this is a great game. Really want to make sure my 8yo is having fun before i start hammering down on techniques

[@timothy4928]

Will be using this stuff at our next practice thank you

[@omargamarra5236]

[@ihpooi7330]

Do you have any good recommendations for summer camp in San Diego CA?

[@scottlink183]

This was fantastic!

[@gatorslim5781]

Great video.

[@shaunhogan9674]

I'm using this for my 9-12 year olds tomorrow, we'll see how it goes.

[@buffetboyseb7301]

Coach! I need to help my son w the fear of fielding the ball the minute it comes off the bat w any sort of speed . Picks his head up sits on balls or just sticks his glove out

[@Mitten4371]

Yea he's right at that age you want to make it fun for them and then when they get to more of advanced baseball then I would talk more about advanced baseball. But there are some drills that you can use and one is get them get use to catching the ball. This video is a good place to start and start by getting their glove on the ground and have them watch the ball go into the glove but out in front of them. Get them to field the ball in the proper way then when they get that down work on footwork technique because they need to be ready at anytime when a ball is hit to them. Also get them fielding the ball without a glove because this way it makes their hands quicker but do it in practice only. One thing my coach in youth baseball would teach us is called the creep which means when the pitcher is about to deliver the baseball to home plate the infielders would start to creep with them on the balls of their feet. Because you don't want them just standing flat footed you want your infielders and outfielders moving so if a ball is hit to them then they can make the play

[@michaelarriola.11]

Great content 👌

[@mikereynolds1981]

Like it. Thanks

[@9393baseball]

Hey matt. If an active player reaches age 45 do they get paid their pension while playing?

[@thomasclark1466]

Hey coach I’d love to see you work with a player who has very little to no experience with baseball

[@Braylen7966TheGreatYouTuber]
