our overall mechanics are solid, and your fundamentals are a strong foundation for success. However, adding more game-like actions to your approach will take your fielding to the next level. Focus on using your footwork to move around the ball effectively, setting yourself up for the easiest and most efficient play. By approaching the ball with purpose and staying athletic, you’ll improve your ability to react quickly and handle more challenging plays.
In addition, work on consistently presenting your glove early and in the right position. Showing the glove early gives you better control and increases your chances of making clean plays, especially on fast or tricky ground balls. Combining this with improved footwork will help you maintain balance and flow through your throws, creating a seamless transition from fielding to throwing.
To develop these game-like actions, incorporate drills that simulate in-game scenarios, such as charging slow rollers, working on lateral movement, and fielding balls from different angles. These types of exercises will help you build confidence and make your reactions more instinctive. Keep focusing on these areas, and you’ll see a noticeable improvement in your ability to handle live game situations.

Blake, great job making consistent contact at your points of impact. Your swing shows solid potential, and you’re on the right track. One key area to focus on is ensuring you’re getting into a proper load position before initiating your swing. Right now, you’re hitting from more of a standstill, which limits your ability to generate power and maintain consistent timing.
By incorporating a slight load with your hands, you’ll create better rhythm and tempo in your swing. This adjustment will also help you engage your backside more effectively, allowing for a smoother and more powerful rotation. Think of your load as a way to coil and store energy, giving you the momentum to drive through the ball with authority.
As you work on this, focus on turning your backside fully to stay engaged throughout the swing. This will not only improve your power but also help you stay through the ball more consistently, leading to harder and more controlled contact. Keep building on the strong foundation you’ve developed, and with these adjustments, you’ll take your hitting to the next level. Great job!
