This is the reason some players are great. They do the little things. nitter.gq/CoachYourKids/status/1…
“He had it measured the whole way.” For outfielders, knowing exactly where you are on the field puts you in a position to make plays like this. Jackie Bradley, Jr. has elite field awareness, which is why he is able to make plays like this ALL THE TIME.

It’s not just where the ball is that determines whether or not you can advance. It’s also how the ball is caught. When the fielder is moving away from where he has to throw, that’s a window for an extra base. You just have to have the courage to take it.

I remember doing something similar in the basement as a kid. There isn’t enough of this nowadays.
A ball, a wall, and a.... mattress Find a way

Our #21in21 series highlights @MelStocker52 this week! The outfielder put together an All-Star season with the Ducks in 2006, including a franchise record 25-game hitting streak. One year later, he reached the @MLB level for the first time, playing nine games with the @Brewers!

This is a must watch for those of you who are serious about baseball or softball. Another reason to stand in for bullpens. fb.watch/30a4yJN160/

When is enough enough? Don’t you get tired of being part of a losing tradition? I know I do. If that’s you start by changing the norm and become part of the solution by being a leader and not a follower. If you aspire to be great, come train like the greats. Join me at DSA.

Major League infielders are fluid and work thru the ball whenever possible. There’s no stopping to field; they are in constant motion. The feet take the hands thru the ground ball, with the body moving into the throw, going in line to the target. #STdrills

When your “A” game tests your non athletic skills.

When your A game is a C game in your own mind. You just work harder than others.

A healthy way of life is not just a phrase but a series of actions. Learn to support others in their journey. Great work today ladies.
Twins, this ones for you.
It's a painful injury frequently affecting athletes in sports that require frequent changes of direction, such as football, soccer, basketball and hockey. bit.ly/2W3wIVW
This was something I did on a daily to get better. Yes, it costs nothing.
Great fielding drill while at home. Use a baseball, tennis ball etc. on a parent/guardian approved wall at home. Practicing these skills is all apart of being mentally prepared for the real thing. #family @Swich_Athletics @BoostersSHS nitter.gq/CoachYourKids/status/1…

Can you find a wall? Do you have a ball? Congratulations, that’s all you need to get better. Now it’s up to you. Every position on the field can use just a wall and ball to improve... and have fun while doing it, like these @Mariners are here. #STdrills
