    "the backwards move is the first step to the exchange, not the last step to the catch"
    Just incredible advice all in one statement, this alone can help so many young infielders with their fundamentals.

    I appreciate the art of fielding a groundball. As a youth baseball instructor, it’s rare to see angles introduced as if kids won’t grasp it. Just get in front of the ball they say. We should be focused on getting the kids to understand concepts like angles, glove/hand positioning, fielding zone. If they get that at a young age, that will lead to cleaner and more competitive games.
