[devinhester55]

I'd say "Slow Roller." and then just hit a line-drive right at him haha

[Rice4Lif3]

wat bout the balls that hav a bunch of spin on them?

[patm0305]

your suppose to grab it on the backhand because it saves time going around and squaring up the ball

[al3x009]

those kids suck, the coach is a retard

[chp13u]

this is good drill but he can't backhand right, or get a slow roller

[HgOuTitar]

@chp13u thats why he's practicing

[usafwolf13]

It's good to practice the backhand though at a young age like that, because when the game speeds up and the balls are moving faster you sometimes will have to use it...and you want the muscle memory to be there.

[thebadguykryptonite]

even if you can reach a ball in the hole without backhanding it, it leaves you in no position to make a throw to first. especially if you are backhanding it off your right foot....

[UABaseball012]

@thebadguykryptonite if you can reach a ball in the hole with out backhanding it then that means you could have came around it. you can post of your right foot for sure, backhands in the hole that may just be your only option and if you do it right its good, it also helps to have to have the arm.

that kid is bad never set his feet except 4 the 2nd ground ball and that man has to hit it harder than that if i hit a ball to that kid he will shit himself!

[ametsman]

@CaliJCalvillo

When you are just practicing it you don't have to hit it hard. You have to get the mechanics down first. Plus, this is just a demonstration.

[bubbacon]

what is this from 1970

[hydejing]

thx for sharing

[MDProductions1]

i'd have to dissagree

but we all think diffrent

i think always stay in front of the ball

but...

obviously you dont

[MDProductions1]

dont field a back hand like

that unless thats your only way

of getting it

[porchmonkey45]

actually if you knew what you were talking about which you obviously dont thats how you're supposed to field a bankhand ground ball.. the only thing the kid shouldve done is planted his feet further apart.

[mtp722]

actually no he's right.

thats the wrong way.

only field a backhand if you have to.

he just went slow.

if you have the chance to get in front of it, then you should.

don't slow down so you can make the backhand.

[MyBatman1996]

@mtp722 I agree with you and for the slow roller bare hand it cuz that saves picking it out of your glove and I find its pretty hard to get the guy otherwise

[Djshew]

MDProductions is right. You need to try avoid backhanding the ball in front of your left foot. It should be your right foot. Balls hit between short and 3rd generally are a lot of times bang bang plays. The short-stop needs to move quick enough to plant that right foot so he can be able to make a quick strong throw to 1st. It also avoids booting the ball with your left foot.

@MDProductions1 this guys got it right if u have time or the option u should field it off ur right foot as a right handed infielder
