What is bigger: a windshield or a rear view mirror?
There’s a reason the windshield is bigger. What’s in front of you matters a lot more than what’s behind you.
Baseball is a game built on failure. You’re going to strike out. You’re going to make errors. You’re going to have bad games. The best players aren’t the ones who never fail. They’re the ones who don’t let the last play affect the next one.
Learn from it, but don’t live in it.
The rear view mirror is there for a reason. Take a quick look, learn what you need to learn, then get your eyes back through the windshield.
The next pitch. The next ground ball. The next opportunity.
Keep looking forward. 👊⚾

A simple “feel drill” to understand what soft hands should feel like on a tough in-between hop where we have to cut down distance.
Flexed wrist. Palm above the baseball. Fingertips down. Quiet actions.
At game speed, the hop may require a little more movement from the glove hand, but these are the mechanics we want to build and rely on when handling the tough ones.
Train the feel so it shows up when the game gets fast. 👊⚾

The difference between “loud and violent” glove actions and “quiet and soft” glove actions when handling tough hops.
When the glove and wrist get stiff or attack the baseball with too much energy, it creates a collision that makes tough hops even harder to handle.
Instead, think loose, flexed wrist with the fingertips staying down, helping keep the palm on top of the baseball. Loud actions often cause the fingertips and palm to work underneath the ball, making it much more likely to kick out of the glove.
The goal is to absorb and suppress the energy of the baseball rather than collide with it. Loud actions also eat up valuable time on plays where we need to get rid of the baseball quickly.
Loose wrist. Flexed wrist. Fingertips down. Suppress the energy of the hop.
Quiet and soft hands make plays. 👊⚾

Game ending double play for the Braves last night with tying run on 1B and 1 out.
Plus handles by Mauricio Dubón on a nasty in between hop feed from the P followed by his internal clock telling him he has to get rid of the ball to finish the play & trusting Matt Olson to pick him up, which he does.
Zero hesitation in this play from Dubón and Olson, just trusting athleticism/instincts and countless preparation to allow themselves to thrive in a big moment! ++ play all around! 🔥

Been coaching baseball for 35 years. I can confidently say …
The same fundamentals that won baseball games in my year #1 still wins them today. Even more so now, because others are neglecting the basics at an alarming rate. So many are mistakenly seeking a magic potion. When doing simple better than everyone else is the key. On offense, defense, team play, etc.
Paralysis by analysis… Has never been more true … and a greater trap in development, than now…. 2026.
We are overloaded with information, different opinions, different drills… do this… don’t do that… etc, etc, etc. Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, YouTube, coaching seminars, lessons, camps… etc. so many opinions.
If you don’t know the “why” behind your work, you are likely getting lost in your work. As in life… If you don’t know where you’re going and more specifically, how to get there, you spend a lot of wasted time and often get off-track. Same with sports training.
Create a quality plan and stick to it. A process that touches on your strengths and addresses weaknesses. Challenges you and can elevate your game. Try not to get sucked into the latest “click bait” drill on the Internet, unless you know, for a fact, it will improve your process and help you achieve a higher level of play.
Often simple, and repeatable drills have more benefits than “cool looking” drills. Everyone seems to be seeking a magic potion drill that will change their life. Newsflash…. It does not exist.
Learn to do simple best! Physically and mentally. That elevates players and wins!
