Really good technique. Got me playing varsity as a freshman

@futursticswagg Awesome! Good luck!

Do you know any good first base gloves? I have an ssk now, but I feel like it's loose on the hand and after a year and a half it's somewhat flimsy causing easy balls to be popped out of the pocket. I want a glove that will keep form. Have any recommendations?

[TouchEmAllBaseball]

@ajs1850 Rawlings gloves generally keep their form pretty well. Pro Preferred takes a long time to break in but will keep its shape for a long time.

will this footwork help me on my accuracy because im a freshman in high school and am going to play ss and 2nd base and want to improve my accuracy before the season starts because it sucks right now

@strikezonefreak That's great...glad to hear it helped!

[strikezonefreak]

@TouchEmAllBaseball thank you so much this video helped me a lot. i went to the park and practiced my thowing after fielding a groundball and used this footwork and i seemed to have more accuracy and balance

[TouchEmAllBaseball]

@strikezonefreak Yes this will greatly improve your footwork. It keeps your body in balance and under control. It also keeps you on line with your target and helps cut down the distance and gets your momentum to help your throws. Good luck!
