Quick-Slow-Quick. Ball never stops moving. First guys job is accuracy, 2nd guys job is speed. Get the flip right and the double play will come. #ExpandRoutine
On the relay: “Grass to Grass”. If IF feet are in grass, teach him to 1 hop the throw into the grass for the C to apply tag. Often when trying to throw “All the way” from grass, ball will sail to 3B side.
Trey Ebel rhythm and timing. “Play in a 4 foot house”. Stay in your legs, stalk the baseball. #ExpandRoutine

Perry Hill talks about “Ball hits dirt” reads. The idea is any ball that hits the dirt circle around home plate is an automatic charge. Can practice this during fungo, but also during BP at their positions. Eliminate distance, cut down time, control your hop. #ExpandRoutine

You will not see a better sports video today:
Kolby Branch hits a HR for Georgia in his last ever college AB. His brother, on the other team, gets to celebrate with him as he rounds the bases with parents in attendance
What a moment for this family
Potential 1:1 Roch Cholowsky with rhythm and timing. Subtle glove tap after exchange. Ball never stops moving. #ExpandRoutine
Rhythm and timing from Brewers new Rookie Shortstop Cooper Pratt. #ExpandRoutine
Shuffling laterally more than once during an infield drill is a waste of a movement. When do you see an infielder take 3 shuffles to get around a ground ball? A day before they become an outfielder!

We’ve gone too far with the “Toe up” teach. What not to teach is as important as what to emphasize. Toe up is a checkpoint to see timing - not a set position to continually put your young athletes in for every ground ball rep. You’re teaching them heels instead of balls of feet.

It is important for the 1B to establish a throwing lane on a double play ball. We use the terminology “Grass to Grass, Dirt to Dirt.” The SS should align himself on the side of the bag that matches the 1B position. @TheProsPipeline #ExpandRoutine
