🚨 Down-Angle Knockout
• w/ two runners at both 1st & 2nd, coach throws to the catcher - trying to either short hop it, or throw a low strike.
• Runners compete to see who can get a better read on the pitch, either stealing or retreating.
⭐️ Best read stays on!
Steal this drill for athletes!!
This may be one of my favorite drills on here!
You’ll definitley want to grab a training partner and try this out.
Intent and effort were through the roof!
⚡️ Hard decelerations + accelerations
⚡️ Competition
⚡️ Creativity + Decision making
What a quote from Kirby Smart here.
“A lot of these kids want a check. They don’t want physicality. If you have the check and no physicality, you end with nothing. You’re not just getting checks at our place. We’re hitting people.”
New #OkState defensive coordinator Clint Bowen was the head coach at Lawrence (Kan.) HS exactly one year ago.
His time away from college to coach four years in Lawrence appears rejuvenating.
“High school coaches are the most amazing humans.”
In a sport like baseball playing at a high level consistently for 26 straight games is hard to do. Coastal Carolina Coach Kevin Schnall explains the biggest things their staff emphasizes:
“Frees” (Walks and HBP)
Win the “Big Inning War”
Score first
Win the race to 7
Baserunning
This is the process that turned the Coastal Carolina catcher into one of the best defensive catchers in the nation🔥
Cool to see @joe__singley get a shoutout from the announcers too as they break down @caden_bodine pre game progressions
The receiving progression:
- Indian club / mallet
- short hops (w/mini mitt)
- weighted balls (mentioned)
- machine (not pictured)
Every catcher NEEDS to watch this! 💯
