Right lmao!!! Like two and three times in a row. I even sent this to my players to watch. The thing i like the most is watching the kids front foot step towards the target. Thats a hard skill for kids to master because they start rushing instead of staying relaxed.
These kids are good, you'll never understand the pressure that they're going through, unless you do it yourself. I had the opportunity to play in a few and show what I had at 3rd base. And that led me to 3 great years at Youngstown state. Please stop hating on these young bucks, they're just trying to make a name for themselves. It's all about the day you have, and the time you make of it. All respect and keep swinging.

After reviewing the results of our tryouts and due consideration we are pleased to announce that we have made a selection for this years team... the First Baseman!
he throwing over hand. hes prob a good hitter and plays outfield also, a 1st base rarely throws so it effect like at best 1% of innings and even then whose to say it doesnt work. not worth it if your also gonna be playing outfield, and arent dead set on infield.
out fielder's usually throw directly over hand, cause slight left or right means totally missing the catcher from center field, being little high or low doesn't matter. All though Ichiro dam near threw side arm, but he probably could throw better then any infielder of his time, Jeter, etc. Just didn't have the ground ball handling skills like other short stops. Or wasn't tall enough to Jump. Short stop kind of like soccer goally, tall lanky person has distinctive advantage at stopping the ball.
Taj Muhammad doesn't mean they don't make attend throws which we all see and it's just routine throws. So don't judge Us who see errors. That's jist excuses.
In 1986, when I was going through Marine Corps "boot camp", I'd stand there in formation and stare up the hill at the beautiful tower and buildings of University of San Diego, and I'd silently vow to myself: "I'm gonna go to college. I'm gonna do better than this. I'm going to get my degree and be a history teacher." I just loved looking at those buildings. It reminded me that I still had time. I could still do it. That I'd somehow get there. That it was real. It took me away from the stress and depressing reality of my most recent life decision, which i wasn't completely happy with.
A little one and cover and bring it in. Love it! I can watch this all day. I'm not far from 60, but this takes me back to my youth, a lifetime ago, but in my mind I can sense the texture of my glove, the feel of my uniform, and the distinctive scent of a baseball. I was an infielder myself, couldnt play the outfield for beans and had mad respect for anyone who could. These guys are talented and have a love of the game. One day they too will look back and think of these days, and when they do, they too will remember the textures, sounds, and smells that is baseball.
Agreed, Im 39 and was a shortstop in my playing days...Love watching the soft hands and good footwork fielding balls....Wish I would've had an arm like some of these guys though....
Jace Phelan ikr. If he still is reading this to this day, I’d like to say to you my guy that you shouldn’t have been embarrassed from a few bad throws bc u got hell’s skills and a big arm.
I’m 2 ‘123” and weigh 1/23 stones converted into lbs. I was recently clocked at 733 mph converted to km. Mind you I had a headwind of an f5 tornado .001 km in front of me.
Outstanding, excellent fundamentals. Great footwork, 2 hand glovework, consistently well done. All ballplayers will make errors, what's important is how you deal with it. Enjoyed the video. Baseball is a beautiful game.
0:52 on the dot. The guy in 2nd spot is a beauty. Dudes gonna be an MLB players one day. He's got the statue, the height, the looks, the fitness, all of it.
I was once told by a wise man that if you want to play great, just have fun and don't think about it..you work out and give it your best in practice and when you play the game, just play to have fun..Losses come with the territory and are more important than winning since I had something to learn from..hope these young gents keep putting in their due diligence
@@maddoxxx3924 but imagine palming it, I did that once... someone threw some major cheese at me, caught it on palm with my glove, my palm was very red and my thumb hurt for the rest of the day.
The kind of player i want to be though... And that i will be Is one who never misses the throw, perfect mechanics for each ground ball, perfect hitting mechanics, perfection everything
I played for teams like this, not PG but teams filled with all Americans and the back hands and taking time to throw the balls are all part of the different drills the coaches or implementing
No prettier sight in all of professional sports than a well executed double play. Played 3 sports the whole time I grew up - and watched guys who excelled in football and wrestling struggle in baseball - and vice versa. Baseball requires different coordination and skill, and these guys make it look easy.
It bothers me how fast he pulls his foot off of first base half of the time. Not criticizing, just speaking my mind. These guys are talented for their age none the less! Saw some sick picks in there!
They are making it look fairly smooth. May be that everyone of them are real good. Also they are clearly going 70% on throws to save arms for game days.
#27 was very nervous, especially playing in front of those scouts. Should have just relaxed and stayed calm. FYI it's the second guy at 3rd base who threw it into the dugout lol
what happens to the original sound? I use to watch this video all the time when I played hs ball. Wagon Wheel by Darius Rucker should be playing at the beginning of the vid
11 has wheels...at this age the true gifts are below the waste, the feet, the quickness, the rhythm...everything else is a dime a dozen. Hard job for the scouts.
GiDD it’s actually impossible considering that he played the perfect game in 2012+ the fact that he debuted in 2015 with the Cubs and this is when the perfect game is played Plus he was number five on the perfect game not number 27
I used to play third base most of the time in HS. I would have much rather played short stop but some other kid was more fancy like an Ozzy Smith. The throw from third to first is insanely difficult at times cause so far away. I made some impressive defensive grabs but on the throw to first I'd either throw it over the first baseman's head or it would go wide lol. I'm old now and get to play short stop on an old men's baseball league team so I get to re-live my dream which is cool
Many of them have excellent glove work. Maybe it was the angle but it appears that they all throw balls that tail. Quick releases for sure but at the expense of nice tight rotation to target. I’ll watch again.
Andrew Almarez they’re literally taking groundballs not trying to make plays deep in the hole, (which they can because everyone of these kids are either d1 signees or are drafted out of high school. quit hating
I find it kinda strange that I can just sit here for 10 minutes and watch this and just be happy for 10 minutes, guess that's the love of baseball :-)
Michael St. George agreed. I’ve come back to watch this at least 10 times.
It’s just so sat seeing how each of them have almost the same movement, I usually just watch these to learn from it
Right lmao!!! Like two and three times in a row. I even sent this to my players to watch. The thing i like the most is watching the kids front foot step towards the target. Thats a hard skill for kids to master because they start rushing instead of staying relaxed.

Heck the first baseman pulled his foot early nearly every time no matter how good the throw was.
he can't even scoop a ball
No the fungo hitter
+Titanoutdoors lol like it's easy catching a short hop coming 85+
dude their first baseman has a cannon
Kaleb Decker Drums i was thinking the same thing
Looking at his throwing motion he’s probably also an outfielder as a lot of first basemen double as at this level
Like Cody Bellinger
he throwing over hand. hes prob a good hitter and plays outfield also, a 1st base rarely throws so it effect like at best 1% of innings and even then whose to say it doesnt work. not worth it if your also gonna be playing outfield, and arent dead set on infield.

Adult leagues are a great way to keep playing. Baseball is great as a hobby too. It's so damn fun! Keep playing, bud.
They make it look so effortless, smooth. These guys got cannons too

Right?
Taj Muhammad doesn't mean they don't make attend throws which we all see and it's just routine throws. So don't judge Us who see errors. That's jist excuses.
but the only on getting drafted out of high school would be the first third baseman
Letting an easy grounder go through your legs and double clutching the whole time. Drafted out of high school my ass

a lil off target tho but damn he's good
As a player who is always trying to improve on transfer and hand speed I marvel at how fast their hand are
i like how they all have different styles when fielding, trasfering, turning the play, and throwing the ball
Number 25's glove form is beautiful 0:34
And a cannon arm, straight over the top. Impressive.
feeling bad for that one kid at third

People are wondering why they double clutch, because they throw the ball 90+ mph across the freaking infield😂
thats not near 90 mph have u ever watched or caught someone that throws 90s
1st baseman is clocking 90's. One of the shortstops might too
D1 draft infield average is 85mph + atleast that's what a Perdue recruiter told me.
Genuine Default it’s about 90 your probably thinking of what pitching looks like the infield is from a farther distance
Not even close 90 bud
RIP the first basemen's glove hand....
I know he had to deal with everybody trying to chuck it at him
Straight chedder from the entire infield
Facts but as long as he’s not palming a lot of them he’s fine

You don't need to be a master chef to critique a meal weeaboo.
people don’t understand how tiring it is for a first baseman to do this for 30 minutes😂
I'm guessing your glove hand is probably barking a bit by the end as well
And it’s repetitive, sometimes I just want them to throw it short just to work on pics and to mix it up

Nick Hamann They do that in the MLB.
He had a cannon tho maybe he pitches to
They do it to make the ump have a quick decision on what the call is, if you keep your foot on first then it gives more time for the correct call
Just watching kids taking infield again made me smile
Look at the footwork always balanced the kid covering 2nd is smooth for his age
They are making it look fairly smooth. May be that everyone of them are real good. Also they are clearly going 70% on throws to save arms for game days.
No they aren’t 😂 infield practices like that are the time to show off their arm.
