Noticing the large emphasis on the backhand pick here. I personally love and have found a lot of success in this method when developing my first basemen. Create depth & angle with lead leg to get eyes behind the baseball. Forehand is last resort/if the angle of throw forces it.
High winds and chilly weather didn't stop @ElmiraBaseball 's Gabe Fellows from blasting a 3-Run home run! The @UECSDTigers grad's 1st of EC career accounts for the 1st for the Soaring Eagles at home this season! More on EC's home opener against Keuka on @WETM18Sports at 6 & 11!
FINAL | @ElmiraBaseball erased an early deficit in game two after scoring 11 runs in the fifth inning to complete the sweep against the Patriots!
Gabe Fellows tied the game 11-11 with a 3-run triple, while Chris Jones hit a 3-run home run later in the inning for EC!
Using visuals to enhance proper hip and shoulder angle for feeds on double plays. Discussion revolved around taking more efficient routes towards ⚾️ allowing for better throwing positions.
Verbal Cues:
• Land preset
• Throw from where we catch
• Do NOT let the ball stop moving
2B Double Play Footwork Progression
1: Single bag inside box (visual cue)
2: Three Bag
3: Live feeds incorporating throw to 1B
Verbal Cues:
-Compact movements towards ⚾️ with right foot
-Catch everything in the middle of our shoulders (when able to)
-Stay inside the box
Increasing Range:
Putting obstacles in front of the infielder forces them to use their lower half more efficiently. Often we see young infielders drift and reach instead of relying on their legs. Obstacles help infielders move more aggressively pre catch to increase range.

Short, quick stroke from 2B Gabe Fellows (@Sully_Baseball)
Keeps the hands inside well as he ambushes a first pitch FB thru the 6-hole.
The Generals are pouring it on now… up 8-0 still in the 3rd
@PBRMaryland @PBRNewYork @PBR_JUCO
Huge upside for Gabe. As his confidence grows so will his production. Has handled the bat very well this fall and a great table setter for some of the sluggers (see prior posts).
@tigers_ue @UECSDTigers Confidence Antlers awarded from a 6-0 win against Vestal Friday night. On the mound with another quality start @ohoyt10 HBP 3 times and his car windshield destroyed @FellowsGabe and Matt Urda with clutch RBI singles in multiple games. #earnyourstripes.
2021 primary MIF & @Sully_Baseball commit Gabe Fellows (@UEHSBaseball) shows off the short stroke tucking a 2B inside the LF line. Fellows, showing some versatility, is filling in behind the plate today. @PBRNewYork
