* Work in progress I will finish tomorrow.
Sorry I didn't have time for a practice plan. I am back to work and have less time for this crazy blog. I finished practice... 25 minutes ago, my wife is giving the play by play for the day, I have a vanilla pudding cup, and here I am - writing about baseball. I saw a couple of things today that bothered me philosophically that we can work on. I will write about it later in the week, they are ideas that coaches yell about a lot but rarely sit down and explain to their team. Today was a good practice, I still need to do a better job of taking in the whole team. I get tunnel vision going and I get into a drill, then realized I learned very little about players in other drills.
Practice Plan
6:00 warm - up
Working on hands and feet, when playing catch. Remember to start the hands out in front of the body and receive the ball to the throwing side of the body. The feet need to shuffle as you catch the ball. The players had improved from the first time out.
6:15 - 7
Fielding Drills
Grounders.. Players looked better, the footwork is improving. I yelled a ton about staying low, it is tough, but it needs to be exaggerated. The hands need to be way out in front.
Working around the ball - I will link a video later
Short hops -
Hitting Drills
The inside and outside pitch
Knee down - This helps quick hands to the ball
No step drill - This drill helps with using legs and hips to help power the ball.
Whiffle ball - Hit Bombs!
