Baseball Infield Instruction and Lessons Listings
"In my opinion good hands are when a fielder has the ability to take his hands to the ball and field it with some soft give. Getting himself in a good balanced fielding position with a good transfer are all intangible things a scout may say or refer to when seeing good hands.
Scouts will often say a player has "good hands." In reality, good hands or good fielding position are the result of a number of factors working together that make difficult plays look simple or a difficult play look routine."

Defense! Defense! Defense!
It’s a chant that is used in so many sports, but something that is so different in the game of baseball. In most sports, there are equal numbers of defensive players and offensive players, EXCEPT in baseball. Nine players start out on the field playing defense, while waiting for one offensive player at a time. There can never be more than four offensive players on the field, while there are always nine defensive players that have control of the game. So, if this is how baseball is played, then why is defensive training just recently coming to the forefront of training regimens? |
