      Shows your humility and wisdom to leave a comment when you have your own channel! I'm 61 years old, and I was a dense, sandlot second baseman with a weak arm that never had "zip" on it. But man, do I appreciate these videos! You guys are teaching the right way and no matter the talent level, encouraging guys and gals to reach their potential. Keep it up!

    All I can say is I've watched this video I can't even tell you how many times, for YEARS, I replay it over and over again. It's almost like a self encapsulated instruction video, because of how the line up is, vs crazy glove action going every direction except forward. It's a playbook for young players, and it will give you an edge as I've seen with many kids playing little league. Across the body lost control, feet continue to give balance. Ron is my favorite infield guy of all time.

Every spring training at Dodgertown (Vero Beach ,FL) I would watch and learn his infield drills. Tony Taylor was another great infield instructor with the Marlins.

    Great drills, especially for youth ball players who need to learn the basics at a young age. They'll never forge this is they learn the correct techniques at a young age.

    Wish we had more Ron Washingtons in the corporate world! Experience combined with a passion for the job and passing both on to the next generation.

    My dad taught me a very similar drill that we used to do a lot since I played first. The muscle memory it develops is insane. It’s the best way to learn to pick low throws or read hops, imo. Definitely gonna implement some of these drills as well.

    As a Texas Ranger fan I miss Ron so much. Has nothing to do with the other managers, but Ron is THE man!

    I absolutely love Ron Washington, he's is an excellent teacher and man. I wish the Rangers could have won one of those series when Mr. Washington was the skipper. I'm going to work this drill with my 11 year old as he is playing a lot of Shortstop these days.
