- 🚨 Juan Soto: Self-Talk • “I’m all over this guy.” • “He’s got nothing to beat me with.” ⭐️ Elite hitters know they are going to get a hit. Average hitters hope they do.
00:00 - 🚨Tony Gwynn’s Advice to Todd Helton • Look at the logo of the pitcher’s hat then shift your eyes to the ball. • Versus trying to track the ball out of the glove or locking in on the release point window. ⭐️ Get your eyes focused on a defined point vs. empty space.
00:00 - 🚨 Tony Gwynn Hitting Tips • Think Knob to the Ball • Top Hand Palm Faces Up • Follow Thru & Finish High ⭐️ “Top hand palm up” is a great cue to keep your barrel in the zone longer & stronger.
00:00 - 🚨 USC Infielding Box Drill • Big Hop - Back Hand • Big Hop - Forehand • Slow Roller - Backhand • Slow Roller - Forehand ⭐️ Awesome circuit for teaching how to move back & move through different types of hops.
00:00 - 🚨 Paul Skenes Warmup Drill Emphasis On: • A strong + active front arm • Staying back / not drifting too early • Keeping shoulders & hips closed • Proper load into the back leg ⭐️ Great drill to help pitchers understand the value of a strong glove arm.
00:00 - 🚨 MLB Defense: Bucket Tagging Drill • Let the ball travel - Don't reach for it • Catch the ball over the base & drop the tag down • Smother all picks right into the tag ⭐️ Catch the ball first. Most mistakes happen when we try to initiate the tag too soon.
00:00 - 🚨 Bobby Witt Jr's On-Deck Routine • Lock in on the pitcher. • Time up your stride. • Visualize what you just saw w/ a swing. ⭐️ Your focus (or lack of it) on-deck is a difference-maker. Get into the box ready to compete.
00:00 - 🚨 UCLA’s Daily Glove Work Routine What do you notice? • Palm pushing through the hops • Eyes low + behind the ball • Athletic crouch + fielding out in front ⭐️ Elite focus & attention to detail in practice creates good habits on game-day.
00:00 - 🚨 MLB Defense: Bucket Tagging Drill • Let the ball travel - Don't reach for it • Catch the ball over the base & drop the tag down • Smother all picks right into the tag ⭐️ Catch the ball first. Mistakes happen when we try to tag too soon.
- 🚨 Kentucky Baseball : Team Philosophy • How quickly can you turn the page? • The healthiest place to live is in the present • Good or Bad… “So what? What’s next?” ⭐️ You get depressed living in the past & you get anxious living in the future. Be where your feet are.
00:00 - 🚨 Wheel Play Breakdown • Corners crash as batter squares • SS breaks to 3rd - 2B breaks to 1st • Throw the ball over the base, not the moving target ⭐️ A play rarely seen at the MLB level, executed perfectly in the clutch. Timing + Commitment!
- 🚨 Bobby Falls’ Hitting Lesson • Create separation when you stride • Drive down through the baseball ⭐️ Exit Velo is important, but developing a smooth, repeatable, and contact focused swing is key to a long career. “Your best swing happens at 85% effort.”
00:00 - 🚨 Holliday’s Hitting Advice • “Hit the pitcher in the face” • Approach > Mechanics • Be on time for the fastball ⭐️ Overthinking is your biggest enemy on the field. Simplify the game down to 1 thought & commit to your approach.
