When you think about youth baseball, there are so many things that just aren’t the same. You can have two teammates who have totally different skill levels playing on the same field. You can have two teams in the same league with completely different levels of experience.
You can say the same with the quality of fields, umpires, equipment, and we could go on forever.
But there’s one thing that’s the same for every single youth baseball player, coach, and team - everyone’s out there to have fun and get better!
Today’s bullpen bulletin is all about improving skills while you’re having fun - I’ll be explaining my top 5 favorite games to play with your team - so you can have fun and get better.
Top 5 Games:
1) Flip
2) Two Ball
3) Pepper
4) Knock Out
5) 18 / 21 Outs

Let me know what game you're excited to play with your team at your next practice or game - and which one is your favorite? We'd all love to hear from you!

[@tommonson7153]

Absolutely love this! We just got knocked out of the All Star tournament. We are going to keep practicing through the summer, this gives me some great ideas for our Sandlot Saturday's. Really appreciate the content coach!

[@buildingbetterbaseball]

Glad you found it helpful, Tom - thanks for the comment! Let me know if you need anything else or have any questions 👍 Sandlot Saturday's sounds awesome!

[@rosdniw76]

Thanks for the info in your videos and good descriptions. Being a visual person, I would love to see a demo of the games actually being performed.

[@buildingbetterbaseball]

I'll see if I can do that eventually. I've thought about that before but haven't been able to get a group together that wanted to be on camera. I'm glad the content is helping you!

[@johndpate]

I’ve watched quite a few of your videos and having no visual change the whole video gets boring. Throw in some clips of your teams doing what you say. Get another coach or dad maybe. They don’t want to be on camera? Let them wear a mask or somerhing

I just got back into coaching after 20 years the kids are bored at practices thank you you are very helpful

[@buildingbetterbaseball]

You’re welcome John! So happy I can help

I like to play 2 base at end of practice. Split team in half, flip for home team. Set tee up at home plate. Offensive player hits ball off of tee. Offensive players have to go from Home to First, to Third, and then back to home. Defense tries to get them out along the way. You can shorten a bit by requiring only 2 outs, but they kids get the hang of it pretty quickly. Play 3 innings and losers have to clean up field.

[@buildingbetterbaseball]

This is a great idea! I like that it incorporates hitting too, sounds like a lot of fun!

[@ScottMacHattie]

Excellent job! You sound a bit like Mark Wahlberg presenting, which is also excellent. Thank you!

[@tubes-lut]

Good job coach.

[@davidstachowicz2457]

I play a version of 21 but a clean play means getting the ball all the way back to the catcher and the players yelling out the out number. 1 error and we start at zero. Definitely more for advanced and older players.

[@thecasual1012]

What is spots and how do u play I saw a vid not really explaining much but it looks like everytime u throw to a person in their chest u get a point?

[@buildingbetterbaseball]

Yupp, if you're referring to the game I'm thinking of, I just call it the target game. If you throw to your partners give and they don't move it, that's 3 points. If you throw to the face or torso area, that's two points. If you're partner has to reach for the ball without moving their feet, that's one point. And if your partner has to move their feet to catch it then that's zero points 👍

[@johngw8413]

Sup I’m the guy who watched you record this video sorry for getting in the way and great job

[@buildingbetterbaseball]

Haha it's crazy you found the channel! Yupp, I remember. Thanks for the kind words - I film at a few fields around this area so you might recognize a few more from other videos too

[@johngw8413]

Cool I’ll be keeping an eye on your videos!

[@ianwiest7695]

[@buildingbetterbaseball]
