Yea but before you even start throwing you want to make that you are good and loose before you begin. You know do some stretching and maybe some running to get their blood flowing but in the beginning you want to start with throwing easy to begin with. So what I would do if I was throwing from the outfield to say the foul line if I felt that me and the person was loose enough then I would continue to back up to where I'm throwing long toss. I can't do it anymore but I could throw a baseball from the foul line to centerfield but if I did it now I probably throw out my arm. But long toss is very helpful because it builds their arm strength up but as infielders go. What our coach would teach us was the creep and that means before the pitcher releases the ball to the plate we would start creeping and you want to be on the balls of your feet and just like he showed you in this video you want to get your glove on the ground and bring the ball up to your chest. Another thing that my coach would do is that he would take the part of the ping pong paddle and he would make us field ground balls with the ping pong paddle. But what that would do is make your hands quicker and when I got to highschool our coach before the season began. He would make us field ground balls with our bare hands and you would have someone across from you only a few feet away and what he wanted us to do was shuffle our feet but he wanted us to field ground balls with our bare hands. Another coach that I had would have a fungo bat and a bucket of balls on top of home plate then he would hit an easy ground ball to field then you don't have to throw it back to him because he would hit you another one. But you could be fielding ground balls at first base and end up fielding ground balls at third base before it all said and done but he would have you diving for balls during that drill. But also work on using two hands whether your fielding ground balls or fly balls so you can work on transferring from glove hand to throwing hand. But also in practice work on cut offs and what our coach would do is get three of your players and have one of them in the middle and get the person in the middle to raise his hands up and practice on hitting the cut off man on his glove side. So that's a few things that our coach would work on with us and outfield again work on catching the ball with two hands and transferring from glove side to hand side. When working on catching fly balls make sure you work on crow hops and work on throwing to bases and cut offs
Thanks for posting Matt! Really informative. I am going to be using these techniques for my son next spring. At the U10 level the team that can catch and throw will win. These techniques will make practicing so much more than just “ warming up”
Most youth games are lost by bad throws. I made my kids chase down the bad throws they made in practice, not the person who was supposed to catch it. Started every practice with the infielders throwing around the bases, and practice never started until we could complete several times around the bases without a bad throw.
YES...never "lazy" warm ups! Tell alot bout team by how they warm up! One thing i hate is kids sticking glove outside of body when one step could have got it inside the body!
Buono ma penso che sia per giocatori con esperienza, di solito nella routine delle mie squadre sono inseriti esercizi per fare sentire cose relative ai fondamentali , tipo sentire backspin della palla , separazione dei fianchi e altri movimenti per una corretta azione del braccio, inserirò comunque questi ottimi concetti. Now i try in english. This Is food, but i think that Is for player whih experience. Usually i set in the routine of my team thinks that recall fundamental likes backspin proper arm action, hip separation. But i appreciate the pourpose of this video and i put some idea in my team routine. A big hello from italy

I would say because they play and practice every single day. They get 1000's of reps already. I will say that they still take their throwing very serious, even if they don't break their throwing program up like this
@@AntonelliBaseball the higher the level, the higher your pride is, if I do that in high level not just my opponent team, my teammates will make fun of me too in Taiwan. But I have seen retired pro players teach the exact same thing here for amature players
Fun and Fundamentals. Antonelli baseball is the only channel a little league coach needs. Thank you

Fantastic video! Your great content is changing how our team approaches every practice and game for the better.
Thanks!

Fabulous! Fabulous! Fabulous Training Routine!!!
I’m a middle infielder and when I’m at about 100 ft away I practice tags like what I do when a runner is stealing 2nd.
Very good!
good to see he still uses the Buckler glove
You bet!
This is absolutely helpful! Thanks, Matt!
Glad it was helpful!
Coach Antonelli at work. 🔥🔥🔥
Awesome training presentation. Liked and subscribed! Will be implementing for my youth baseball team.

Practice the way you play.
Dude id love to play ball with a view like that.
What position did you play in the MLB?
He was an infielder
Ok. Cool thx
Infield
So I shouldn’t start by throwing 90 off the mound?
Haha probably not
This is really good
Thanks!
I do a lot of this stuff but every time I long toss, my arm feels like it’s going to fall off.
You may want to get that checked out!
It used to happen to me when I was around 10 I’m 12 now it just went away for me.
@DA PRODUCTIONS did you ever find the link I’m Interested in the stretch
Check arm angle...make sure by the ball having correct backspin!
Rowley!
Hey man there’s an ex mlb player in my softball league. From your standpoint do you think that’s fair? #offtopicsorry
Why wouldn’t it be fair?
He’s entitled to play just like everyone else. His previous stint in MLB just means he worked harder than the rest.
