Treat every ball that comes at you as if you’re playing a Simple Game of Catch. What does that mean?

1. GO catch it
2. If you meet it out in front of your eyes you will catch it.
3. If you go right at it, you will naturally catch it out front.

If you’re having trouble with ground balls, reach out and let’s get you in the right direction with your catch play.

One key focus point about the drop step is to get your pre pitch timing correct to make it real… land after the ball hits the net or if somebody is throwing/hitting them. When you land after it is hit, you will know exactly where to meet it without any hesitation. Always attack the ball at an angle. That means the anticipation and reading the pitch & swing you will be leaning/running to where the ball will be going.

Pre Pitch timing is crucial when it comes to defense..

Land after you see the ball hit so you know exactly where to meet the ball.

If you land too early or before the ball is hit you will have a hard time being direct to the ball.

Direct to where you meet the ball is timing and accuracy. Lock in 🤜🥊 be on time

Hitting is hard.

The work is everywhere—drills, routines, reps.
But the real question is… what are you focused on within it?

What’s being taught? What’s being reinforced daily?

That’s why great players build a team around them—
to make sure, no matter how they feel, they’re executing with purpose.

Learning how to mentally lock in on each swing to execute the task at hand says everything about who you are as a player.

Because when it comes to hitting—
you’re trying to make the same move every time…
and match it up with the timing of the ball.

That’s where consistency is built.
