Defense

Develop explosive drop steps, crossover triggers, and opening acceleration using plyometrics and cone-based timing drills.

Install banana route patterns and cut angles with timed cone layouts that reinforce efficient field coverage.

Practice momentum brakes, shoulder-safe catches, and proximity reads near walls and chain-link barriers.

Simulate game-like throwdowns with timing constraints, moving targets, and runoff situations from second or third.

Teach direct lines, banana routes, and fence-awareness drills to improve run tracking and minimize wasted motion.

Break down footwork, sequencing, and release angles to generate accurate long-distance throws from the gap or corner.

Train basket catches, backhand pickups, and body-position reads for on-the-run playmaking confidence.

Simulate environmental variables that impact fly-ball tracking—using tinted lenses, blind reads, and directional cues.

Build decisive fly-ball calls, outfielder–infielder coordination, and vocal control in chaotic live reps.
