Ultimate Baseball Training This is informative and well-detailed. Now I can apply this not just on the outfield, but as an infielder as well if I get transitioned. Thanks for the tip! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Haha! True, but a lot of guys made it to the Majors playing on garbage....and they followed these tips. I recently saw a ball field in the Dominican. I'll never complain about field conditions again! :)
It was just natural to me to see the ball and be able to move to where the ball is easiest to field and make the play. Because of that, it is very hard for me to teach this to kids. I will make a point to bring these tips up with my middle infielders in my next practice. Thanks for the video!!
This was actually a very helpful video! Still, MLB fields many fewer bad hops since their field look like county club gold courses. But, still, good job, Justin.
Great video, particularly the aggressive part, moving forward attacking the ball will result in fewer errors and keeping the ball in front of you even with a bad hop the ball hits your arm, glove, chest you can make the play or if there is no play stop runners from advancing keeping the ball in the infield..
Thanks for the great video. I started laughing to myself when you mentioned smoothing out the dirt. I play SS in senior softball and I am constantly grooming the areas in front of me. Going as far to remove small pebbles. Love the other tips as well. Thanks.
Ashton Sumpter , yea me too. What I do is work on the tee a lot . People think tees are for kids but even pros use them. Do the tee and work on bat mechanics then go to a cage and use a pitching machine . I'm not a pro but it helps a lot
MLB players see few bad hops because the playing surface is usually flat. Almost all the bad hops I get are due to the shitty infield surface, and there is nothing players can do about that.
Finally someone who agrees with fielding w your butt back! I always got in trouble for not having my butt down, but I just naturally do butt back. It works so whateva.
I play 12u cal Ripken in hawaii and the season is coming up soon. The field we practice on is pretty junk so i am trying to get better at reading and ELIMINATING all the bad hops hit to me.
Hi, I only have a year til I'm in eighth grade and I only have a year before I move to Arizona and tryout for a baseball team.i but.. I can only really hit I dont have a lot of stamina and fast but I dont think I'm speed. I have little to no equipment to practice with. So what can I do to become better besides just going to batting cages
The balls on the ground just simulate where the different hops land (long hop, short hop, tweener). Your goal is to field the ball at either its HIGHEST or LOWEST point

Not many bad hops when you play on putting greens
Pope Ricardo Pianus V% Nattalian Priest putting greens are usually pretty uneven, but I get what you mean

Booty
3:52 CRYING?
"There is no crying in baseball." -Manager JImmy Dogan.-
Eric Chavez used to do this at third base. I'd see him pick up small bits of gravel too.
YES!
Hey, I am on a real conflict with loading my hands before my swing, can you please help out
I wish I knew that yesterday where I had 2 teeth pushed back from a ground ball ultimately ending my seaskn
That's why I wear a mouth guard
frostbite585 og trust me I do now lmao
My team plays on a soccer field, with a very irregular floor, so grounders often makes HUGE hops over the players.
When I field grounders I always do like a lunge.
Thanks I will do that on the baseball field and get those outs
Boom! Let’s go man
Holy wind noise batman. Great info though
Thankfully in the new videos we've got that wind noise all cleared up! 😂 thanks for watching man!
4:10 was that just me or na
Can we get a pitching video?
👍🏻
where i live we play on a gravel field so you get hops that just completely turn the ball the other direction. its really annoying
That's tough!
And their field is completely level
how come every vid u do the audio is messed up with me
Hey can you fix the audio?
The audio is fixed on our newer videos ;)
Yesterday we played against a team called D.A.R some kid was up to bat, then it was a ground ball then it just popped up but we beat them 12 - 1
show us to hit curve balls and sliders cuz i kill fastballs but not a curveball
Marta Hernandez u have to wait on it and keep your head down if u hit it its going somewhere
Major league players don't get bad hops because the fields are extremely smooth
I play baseball
How to pick balls
Love vids but fix the audio cause the wind is bad to here when watching
Can you talk more about being aggressive in future videos
I can't smooth out the dirt with spikes
#2....ding, ding, ding, ding.
i stuck my butt back and got a ball stuck in my jaw :(
bro i cant smooth it out if its grass
so for the balls be 3 steps ahead of the ball?
The balls on the ground just simulate where the different hops land (long hop, short hop, tweener). Your goal is to field the ball at either its HIGHEST or LOWEST point
oh right . thanks
the wind is VERY BAD
Sorry about that! It’s better in our newer videos 😏 we got a new mic!
What?
im js starting baseball, WHAT EVEN ARE BAD HOPS
I am 9'1, 10 ye--- oh shit, wrong video.
this is the serious kent murphy
what if you play in britain and only 2 or 3 fields have dirt infields? ha
The pros don't get a lot of bad hops because they rake the infield like every other inning and they water it too.
The bigs don't see bad hops because the fields aren't trash😂
Got a mallet finger cuz of a bad hop ;(
Why your voice I robotic
I have a gravel infield though...
xHeatProof Spy wtf
Wayyyy too much wind I almost quit the vid
Do you just suck in games or what? Why are you not playing and just RUclips coaching?
too much verbal and not enough demonstration....
