Players don’t rise to the moment — they fall to their habits. And I see the bad habits every weekend. 🧵 A message every infielder needs to hear:.

Watch any big league infielder — their angles tell the whole story. They move with a purpose to the baseball. Every step is designed to:.➤ Attack the baseball.➤ Shorten the throw.➤ Create clean lines to first. Be confident with one hand. Don’t sit back. Go get it.

Nico Horner locked in on his pre-game work. Eyes on the catch. Glove works through the ball. Kneeling glove work builds posture, pocket control, and better picks. Watch the pros move — they leave clues that lead to success.

RT @TJHannam10: Everything is compounding on a consistent basis. The question is, what are you compounding?. Are you consistently doing t….

Want better hands? Start here 👇. All you need is a wall and a ball. Kneeling short hops take your feet out and force you to trust your hands. Barehand = instant feedback.Short hops = test timing, posture, and control. Do it daily. See the results on the field.

This is what winning baseball looks like. Gunnar Henderson takes third on a passed ball… then scores because the pitcher doesn’t cover. Effort + awareness = winning baseball. No hesitation. No fear. Just GO. These are the plays that decide games. Play hard. Play smart.

Baseball will humble you fast. You can do everything right and still fail. That’s why the best don’t chase results — they commit to the process. They trust their work, believe through the failure, and keep showing up. Confidence isn’t a feeling. It’s a choice. Every day.

A “dirtbag” isn’t just a player — it’s a mentality. High energy. Relentless effort. Takes no pitches off. Embraces the hard stuff. They bring the edge every team needs. Coaches don’t just want one — they want a team full of them. Be the one who sets that tone. Be a dirtbag.

Dansby on glove presentation: . “Loose wrists create inconsistencies.” . Teach infielders to move like they’ve got a brace on their wrist. ➤ Have a firm wrist .➤ Keep pocket on plane with the hop . Start focusing on this every time you rep your glove work.

Want cleaner picks and better glove control?. Use a bat, PVC pipe, or infield lip during your daily vitamins. It forces you to catch the ball out front: . ✅ Glove + eyes stay in line.✅ Clean catches become consistent.✅ Posture + timing improve. Simple constraint. Big results.

RT @KevinDeShazo: The outcome is out of your control. Your effort in the process is not. Focus on what matters. Do the work.

Eli Willits — #1 overall pick — isn’t just fielding ground balls. He’s dancing with the baseball. Footwork, rhythm, timing. Elite infielders create the hop they want.

If you’re paying attention to the MLB Draft…. You’ll notice one thing:. Shortstops are flying off the board. Athleticism. Versatility. Leadership. Everyone wants a shortstop — even if they move later.

Every player needs to hear this. It’s not just about exit velocity or how hard you swing. Can you compete every pitch?. Can you win pitches, do a job, and situationally hit to help your team win?. That’s what great hitters do.

Good hops aren’t luck — elite infielders create them. Through preparation, and purposeful reps. ➤ Their feet move on time.➤ Their eyes stay quiet.➤ Their glove trusts the work. Confidence is built long before the game.

The best infielders don’t leave alignment to chance. This Vision Drill learned from @Gillum66 — locks in posture, glove presentation, and transfer patterns every day. Eyes ➝ Glove ➝ Ball (Pre-catch).Catch ➝ Center ➝ Power (Post-catch). Simple, repeatable, and game-ready.

🚨 Retweet this for someone who needs to hear it. Let’s raise the standard — one serious rep at a time.

The players who thrive under pressure?. They’ve already rehearsed it — every inning, every rep, every day. That’s how you build trust, consistency, and confidence. You don’t rise in the moment. You fall to the level of your training.

Want to separate yourself?. Then stop going through the motions and start having a purpose behind every rep:. • Prep step with timing.• Field with intent.• Throw like it’s live.• Lock in your rhythm. Every rep is a chance to separate yourself.

Every rep between innings is a choice:. ✅ Build game-speed habits.❌ Reapeat lazy patterns. There’s no such thing as “just getting loose.”. You’re either preparing to perform — or practicing to fail.

Between innings, most guys are just going through the motions. Jog out. Lazy footwork. Casual throws. Then they boot a routine ball when it matters and act surprised. That’s not bad luck. That’s bad preparation.
