Gritty 2-out play last night by Tommy Edman: dives, keeps the ball in the infield & prevents a run.
Next batter (Verdugo) strikes out to keep it a one run game in the middle innings.
Elite defenders are SELFLESS‼️
@Sunday_Hops #InfieldHappyHour
Simple stationary drills are great for emphasizing/improving:
☑️ Posture
☑️ Pocket presentation
☑️ Catch
☑️ Transition
☑️ Post-catch footwork patterns
@Sunday_Hops @MSUBaseball #InfieldHappyHour
What variables dictate utilizing an underhand flip vs. a power feed at 2B?
1. Ability/Comfortability
2. Spacing/Distance from the Bag
3. Momentum
4. Ground Ball (Pace, Hop Type)

Great drill here for coaches who can control a fungo 👇
✅ Can be used with all INF positions to work on receiving/tags
✅ Fungo adds velocity + variability to feeds
✅ Randomness forces INF to adjust accordingly w/ speed & direction of the ⚾️

Big heads-up play last night by @Isiahkf11 to keep it a one run game in the 9th
Tying run in scoring position. Ranges to keep the ball in the infield to keep Kwan from scoring
These are game-saving plays that often get overlooked
@sunday_hops #InfieldHappyHour
No matter your prep step, be ON TIME! ⏱
Cool to see each fielder’s first step/reaction to the batted ball as well 👀
#infieldhappyhour @Sunday_Hops @FridayFielders
Carve out time in early work, side work, or during catch play to focus on catch/transition mechanics
Work on rhythm, quick exchanges & timing up footwork to develop quicker more efficient transitions

Maintain intensity & take pride in non-throwing reps while also limiting workload 📉
Focus on clean transitions, proper post-field footwork 👣 & picking up the target 🎯 with your 👀s …without putting added stress on the arm

How can infielders maximize mid-inning reps❓
Utilize GBs from your 1B to refine…
✅ Glove/fielding techniques 🧤 (FH, BH)
✅ Arm angles 📐 (high/3/4, side, low)
✅ Footwork patterns 👣 (2-step, 4-step, on the run)
#NoWastedReps #InfieldHappyHour @fridayfielders @sunday_hops
Infielders can turn “in between” hops to short & long hops by keeping their feet 👣 active during hop-reading
Get in rhythm (dance 🕺) with the ground ball to create the desired hop & prevent from getting “stuck”

A little makeshift goalie drill with 7 year old Noah
Working on being on time with the pre-pitch & first step/reactions left & right
Lay the foundation 🧱
@FridayFielders @Sunday_Hops #InfieldHappyHour
How can you get better at turning DOUBLE PLAYS❓
Start by getting better at PLAYING CATCH❗️
#InfieldHappyHour #Turn2Tuesday ✌️
This series is definitely support that most errors and issues in the infield come from throws not glove play. #infieldhappyhour
@Infield_U
Stationary drills are as much about training the body as they are the hands!
Notice @willya02 stays in his legs for 10 consecutive reps w/o losing his posture 👀
Strengthen the legs/hips/core! Condition your body to play low!

MIFs: Think STOP 🛑 & REDIRECT 🔁 on DP flips
The transfer from glove ➡️ hand should be seamless by being “on time” with the throwing hand as the ⚾️ & glove make contact
Incorporate a pancake glove in practice/training to master this concept
#Turn2Tuesday #InfieldHappyHour
Great SITUATIONAL AWARENESS by both 1B & RF on this play‼️...
Votto (1B): Knows there are runners at 2nd & 3rd, but first priority is the catch
Naquin (RF): Acts as Votto’s 👀s & communicates the runner tagging from 3B
