      @@ryancostorf5114if you watch the MLB, athletic plays are made with glove hand only. This is because 2 hands can sometimes limit your range. Routine ground balls and turning double plays should be made with 2 hands if possible for quickest transition though

    • @alaregret1270
      @alaregret1270 5 місяців тому

      So the two hands is good for within range quick transition to throwing action depending on situation, but as mentioned by the other response that is dependent on range and more often that not you’re going to prioritize glove hand range of motion and adaptability. The limiter on the play starts with securing the ball glove first, any optimizations for a quicker set of actions are luxuries as considerations after securing ball in glove hand. But in an ideal world, you get to square up and get to have an easy shift in momentum towards ball destination while keeping glove hand and throwing hand close for that quick transition. So you practice footwork, reads, and that form to expand your “ideal” situation range, but in more dynamic situations as the players level up, more often you’re limit testing and need maximum range on glove hand to make plays. And on most plays one can square up, tends to be easier and not needing as much speed. The one quick example of hard play that can optimize for quick hands, is when charging in and having great breakdown approach footwork to square up, it’s possible to make 2 hands a fundamental consideration. Sorry for rant, baseball is fun. Great video for a drill framework, hoping to take this and see how I can adapt it for my players 🎉

    • @figureitoutbaseball
      @figureitoutbaseball 5 місяців тому

      Ryan, good point. Fielders should use two hands when they are making a catch that will also require a transfer and a potential throw. When making tag plays, catching a fly ball (or ground ball) on the run, etc. the fielder remains much more athletic and maximizes range of reach when using one hand only. However, even when "using two hands," the second hand is just meant to be close to the glove, allowing for a quick exchange of the ball from glove hand to throwing hand, as opposed to having the throwing hand strictly touching the glove hand, per se.

    Why not start your runner down the left field line and from 10 to 15 feet behind the bag. the runner times the ball to the fielders glove and is already in motion carrying speed when he hits the bag for the tag up. BTW this is a legal move, if anyone questions it. This method works extremely well on balls hit to right because of the runner's view. On balls hit to left and left-center or center the runner starts in foul ground and runs an ark to the bag giving him visibility of the catch and the ability to time the catch to the tag up. Results are much improved because the runner leaves the bag at speed instead of a standstill. This will work at all 3 bases; you just must change the starting position f the runner. Your thoughts?

    I often have wondered why players are taught go back facing the fence or pitchers. I teach to get right foot on the near far corner (same as you do) but facing away from pitcher (facing direction of where a bad throw would go) so they can immediately react if they see the ball get away. Also reduces likelihood of getting hit in the face, or worse, by bad throw or missed catch by 1B. Hands are in fists in front of body and neck is bowed. They land ready to drive off outside of right foot if they see the ball get away.
