Olathe West (6A🥎20-0) is having an incredible season under HC Cynthia Adams and a super talented and loaded team. They won a state championship in 2023 ant they want to get back there this year as one of the best teams in 6A. Brett Cleland of SIK talked with them today at practice. #sportsinkansas
How to set up at 2nd with throws from outfield
Make sure the outfielder has a clear lane to the bag and you’re set up to where you can easily catch and go down with the tag. Where the ball is will determine how you position myself near the bag. SS covers with balls hit to the right side. 2nd base will cover with balls hit to the left side. If it’s hit to center it’s usually SS who covers but it’s okay if 2nd takes over. It really just depends on which side of the center fielder the ball is going to land. Just make sure middles are communicating on who is going to take it.
Small clips from my latest YouTube video “how to drag bunt from the left side”
•Perfect the bunt down first base line. That is the hardest bunt to cover.
•Barrel comes quick through the zone.
•Barrel should be out before left foot crosses over.
•Top hand is dominant. I prefer to wrap my hand around the handle for better barrel control.
•Once the ball hits the bat, barrel shouldn’t go out anymore. Don’t stab at the ball. Catch it.
•Keep moving through the ball.
•Ball should make contact more towards the end of the bat.
•Make contact more on top of the ball.

When the pressure rises in games and you start to stress out, you have two choices. You can either brace for failure, give up, and make excuses. Or you can stay strong and continue to give your best effort!
Mental toughness is forged by relentlessly hammering away at the tough stuff, especially when you'd rather do anything else.
Stay fired up and persistent, pushing through those off days or when your A-game feels out of reach.
Remember, every minor setback is just setting the stage for a major comeback.

It’s okay to make mistakes in practice. That’s what you’re supposed to do. If you’re not making mistakes, you’re not challenging yourself enough. The more you take risks and learn from your mistakes in practice, the better you’ll perform in games.
