G.R. Hitting

“I’m trying to get the most out of my hitters. Use my knowledge to guide them and draw the hitter out of them.” K.C.

Another big league principle to infield play is hand presentation:

Palm above the ball and snipe the pocket. Look at how the ball is controlled with no rattle.Listen to the ball hitting the glove. That’s what good catch sounds like.

[Dirt Bro Diamond Training @DirtBroUSA]

Teams that don’t strike out at a high clip win more games. Simple as that. This is amplified at the college level — and even more at the high school level and below.

Once you get to two strikes, it becomes a team at-bat. Grind it out. Compete your tail off. Choke up, shorten up, widen out, move closer to the plate — whatever helps you execute your two-strike approach. Some call it their “B swing.”

Make the pitcher work.

We preach “look fastball away and adjust,” but there are plenty of effective two-strike approaches. You have to experiment and find what fits your swing and mindset best.

A quality two-strike approach often leads to hard-hit balls. But even when it doesn’t, the defense still has to field it, throw it, and catch it. That’s pressure.

A lot tougher to defend than a right turn back to the dugout.

🚨 Christian Walker : 1st Base Defense

• Don’t stride too early - read the throw
• Keep your “Pick Window” small
• Always expect a bad throw

⭐️ Many errors occur because we are too eager to receive a good throw. Stay back & be patient.
