MAKING AN INFIELDER
Making an Infielder: "Baseball is a 4 second game between bases."
An infielder should never stand around, make him fix the dirt for holes in between pitches. When fielding ground balls he should show his pocket of the glove and use alligator jaws...how the top hand and the glove look. When picking up the ball, the body should form a triangle...knees to feet with forearms and glove form triangle with the ground. Then the infielder should make a out to in and down to up motion, or a rounded "L" figure. It should be one continuous motion to the belly button and then to the shoulders for the throw.
