Masyn Winn — Saves multiple runs & potentially stops a big rally . Always some place to be — Ball, Base, Backup. Doesn’t show in box score, but these things matter. Pirates only score one this inning — Cards go on to win 7-6. #PicknPivot

First Baseman Pick Drill — 3 reps w/ each rep little farther out. We should have an area we pick 100% of the time — allow your infielders to be creative & have confidence you will pick them up. Drill inspired by @ThatGuy__Kai . #PicknPivot

Ketel Marte DP Pivots Pregame . Each feed is in the box so his exchange time, ball security, & throwing accuracy can be on point . Notice how short his arm is, throws it from where he catches it — no wasted movement down. #PicknPivot
