Athletic fielding starts with being an athlete. Great example here that the game speed doesn’t always allow for perfect ways to complete a task, being athletic helps solve the problem at hand. #oneilcruz getting it done for the Pittsburgh Pirates today. facebook.com/10005894945702…

Interesting moments over the past couple days. OKD v traditional stance. Thought i would put these side by side. Both had crucial/go ahead runs on 3rd in the last. Contreras & Murphy. The standard LHH=RKD &RHH =LKD,but most critical run of the game on 3rd,should Murphy gone RKD?

With the RHP & called breaking ball,Murphy went LKD & missed one he perhaps should of got. Contreras blocked & kept runner at 3rd. Both athletes can block laterally well from OKD, so seemed to me the decision in setup rather than the skill.

I HAD A SCOUTING FRIEND ASK ME ABOUT DEVELOPING CATCHER THROWING SKILLS. THE FOLLOWING WAS MY RESPONSE: You can teach release & you can develop arm strength,but it’s easier to teach release. The bottom line is that you have to find the right balance between accessing your arm

figuring out the level of intent & how quickly your going to have to get the ball out of your glove to produce the best pop time with accuracy. You have to mesh both. Also there is an inverse relationship between release & arm strength. The harder you try to throw(intent) the

The quicker you try to release the slower your velocity is going to be. You just have to find the balance point to produce the best outcome. That doesn’t even account for the pitch location, the pitch type & the runner’s jump which changes everything.

Elite self decision making here from Pete Crow-Armstrong To be an elite runner, look to become your own coach on the base paths. instagram.com/reel/DXWf3z0k7…

instagram.com/reel/DXi9RWxDw… Any drill should have a purpose, any drill should allow you to work on something to get better. Your training aim should be to understand the movement for the skill that shows up in the game - not just to be better at the drill.

The Cleveland Guardians are calling up former No. 1 overall pick Travis Bazzana, sources tell ESPN. Bazzana, 23, hit .287/.422/.511 in 24 Triple-A games this season and will take over at second base for a Guardians team that's a half-game back of first in the AL Central.

Unsure where tho put your best athlete? How about behind the plate? Most defensive runs saved look at the catcher based on the volume of ball touches.
