Parker was the epitome of what HS athletics is about. He brought enthusiasm every day that was contagious to others. He was always energetic and couldn’t contain his excitement when hitting HR's! We will miss him and will continue to honor the exceptional young man that he was.

Three years in a row at Dirt Bro camp, and Drew is still coming back as a college player.

He was with us again this past weekend in Iowa City, IA. Drew also played for Coach Trent Mongero in collegiate summer ball, so the trust he has in Coach Mongero comes from working with him day in and day out as a player.

Hear from Drew on what he gets out of camp and why he keeps coming back.

On a ground ball hit right at you, how much do you really need to work around it?

We’re getting just far enough off the ball’s line to see it off our left shoulder and get a better read on the hop. From there, we work downhill and go get it. If you hang out to the side or round it off too much, you field the ball deeper, give yourself a longer throw, and give the runner extra steps down the line. Now you’re rushing a play you could’ve made easier with your feet.

We made this drill up on the spot. We lined up a few baseballs and had the guys dance their feet from ball to ball to feel the rhythm of that approach. Some reps get a little wide, and you can see how it changes their path to the ball. Watch the reps where they get just enough angle and work gradually downhill. That’s the move we want to see on a ball hit right at us in a game.

Working double play pivots with a group that was all in from the first rep in Iowa City, IA.

The focus was cutting out wasted steps and movement around the bag. When the play at first comes down to a split second, knowing which footwork pattern to use and being able to hit it without thinking can be the difference between out and safe. That’s how you steal two outs, swing the momentum, and get your team off the field.

Here’s a quick look at this group moving in sync through the pivots.
