My JUCO coach showed me a couple of keys to stealing a steal when the defense is distracted

1. After an error

2. After a walk

3. After a pitch

4. Observe patterns of when pitcher/infielders look down or turn to the outfield

Any more?

Great Heads up play by the runner!

Fundamental keys of “catch play.” Specifically improving your ability to receive the baseball … using good “actions” to catch the ball. It’s the first thing coaches, recruiters and scouts notice while watching you throw. Do you catch the ball “cleanly? Do you dominate the catch?” And do you develop good habits by moving your feet (within reason) to receive the ball inside your shoulders… which allows for a quicker transition to throw. This is especially important for infielders and catchers. And as simple as this next point might seem, do you know when to catch with 2 hands vs 1? All of these keys (baseball IQ) are touched on in this 101 level video.

It’s a great day to be a Red Knight! 8 of our players earned Academic All-State recognition for the fall 2022 season. Our team GPA of 3.735 landed us #4 in Class 4 for the state of Missouri. The work you do in the classroom is just as important as your work on the field 🥎📚

The great separator is how you think! 9X Gold Glove winner / 5X Platinum winner Nolan Arenado is the best in the business at “PST,” Positive Self Talk. His go to is “I Want the Ball!”

**Reading hops** Being able to control your small steps is important when selecting the correct hop. Some amateurs struggle with this causing poor timing, poor alignment and running yourself into tough hops. Good infielders are able to play at different speeds when needed.

@stlfanbc7 @enosarris Looks great! Love this staff, especially Houck and Gilbert.

Thanks everyone! I also have Adley on my roster so I’m trying to figure out what would be a reasonable return.

[Chris Fechtel @CoachFechtel]

@EricCross04 @DynastyHalp @RotoClegg what would be a fair return for Will Smith (the catcher) in a 12tm (20 keepers per team), keep forever, no salaries league? What level of pitcher?

The “WHY” a negative pre pitch is better than a stagnant target.
(L) Stagnant vs. (R) Glove Prep
There’s a fixed vantage pt for the umpire when mitt is still [in the zone], when the mitt disappears the umpire loses their initial reference pt of the middle & bottom zone.
