Once mastered, we can then focus on recognizing pitches (rotation in the baseball), taking pitches, using all fields and batters box presence.
Fielding and Throwing Fielding will cover the fundamentals required for each player to learn and play every position with confidence. This program is designed to focus on developing a player’s balance, hand-eye coordination, footwork and lateral movement.
