In many places, baseball season begins during some of the coldest months of the year. Inches of snow, frigid cold and non-stop rainy days prevent even the most dedicated baseball players from getting onto the field.
This video featuring Jack Dahm will show you how to develop and prepare infielders indoors, efficiently utilizing limited space and resources to get them ready to perform outside.
Dailies + Indoor Drills
Save practice time and get your infielders into a daily routine by assigning them fundamental drills they will complete every day. Coach Dahm's ladder drills will help your infielders improve their foot speed and flexibility. Additionally, athletes will develop good hands by running through barehanded and small glove drills.
Dahm offers an assortment of indoor drills to help develop complete infielders. You'll see how to practice recovering from a bobbled ball to reduce panic and still get an out. Coach Dahm also shows how you can improve your fielders' range by working on drop steps and taking good angles to the ball.
Outdoor Drills
Next, Coach Dahm shows a throwing progression to help your infielders improve arm strength and accuracy if you're able to practice outside. You'll also see how to get more accomplished in the same amount of time by having the receiver of the throws accomplish tasks like double play footwork or relay mechanics. Dahm concludes by revealing a quick infield routine to work on any type of ball an infielder might encounter.
This video will show you many drills that your team can use indoors or outdoors to give infielders a complete workout. When the weather turns colder and your team is forced to practice indoors, Coach Dahm shows how to keep your infield defense hot!
