Proud of my younger cousin Liwai (’24). Lost a season to COVID, like so many others, but made the decision to work in the meantime. Impressed by his actions, an advanced defender for a soph. Check-out the 📼, a mix of his wall ball routine & on-field work #moretocome

This makes me want to go take some gb’s

📐“The Hard Reset” One of the best patterns for young INFs to learn, perfect combo of fast + controlled. - Attack & field on-the-run 1-handed - Change direction by going from big strides ➡️ choppy steps - Get your feet under your upper body & your R instep toward your target

Astros bench coach Joe Espada hitting grounders in turf field

1st spring training since 1981 not as a player or manager, nice to be a spectator for once. Enjoyed watching Perry Hill work with infielders, this generations “George Kissell” Seattle Mariners St. Louis Cardinals #MLB

Similar concept to limiting north/south steps &/or all steps (i.e. kneeling, wide base) in an infield drill. This forces the infielder to have a solution with their hands/posture when their feet take them to a sub-optimal hop.

Infield coaches: Are you prescribing or suggesting the way your infielders wear their gloves? Traditional v 2 in pinky.

When Kainoa Correa comes to your area, you show up, because he's got hands down the best system for teaching - in an engaging way - what athletic fielding performance looks like. Looking forward to it!

1. Create a training environment that heightens the athlete’s awareness to the “flaw” 2. Ideally, the environment (not the coach) will give immediate feedback of what is “right” vs “wrong” 3. Peel back the constraint to test its impact on the athlete. Be strategic w/ this layer

Update: Simon Whiteman still has elite hands. Only thing that’s changed is the kid recently stuck a casual 173 LSAT score during his off season #academicweapon Yale Baseball SFGProspects #FridayFielders
