“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.

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!

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

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
