Alright guys, the next thing we're going to do is focus on "do or dies" from the outfield. This technique involves fielding the ball outside of your glove foot and then working into a crow hop to throw the ball for long distance.
For this drill, we'll assume the player is right-handed (glove is on the left hand).
Coaching Tip: It's cheating if you just have the ball in your hand and start from there. Always practice your transfers by starting with the ball in the glove.
So again, the sequence is: start with your glove foot forward, glove outside the foot, then...Field it, Crow Hop, and Throw!
If you're running in to get a baseball, the motion is the same: you field it and throw.
Alright guys, next thing we're gonna do, we're gonna be focusing on do or dies from the outfield, fielding it outside of my glove foot. So if my glove is on my left hand, it's outside my left foot, and then working into a crow hop to throw the ball for long distance. Alright, so for this drill, my glove is on my left hand, so you want to start with your left foot forward. You want to start with your glove beside your foot. Now, if you're gonna throw a baseball, I want you to start with the ball inside your glove so you can practice getting the ball, practice those transfers. It's cheating if you just have the ball in your hand and you go right there. So again, start with your glove foot forward, your glove is outside your foot. Field it, crow hop, and throw. Okay, field it, crow hop, and throw. Now, if you're running in getting a baseball, you field it and throw.
Alright guys, next thing we're gonna do, we're gonna be focusing on do or dies...
