READY POSITION
An important key in fielding is to be moving when the ball is hit.

Position yourself in the basic stance. As your pitcher prepares to deliver the ball.

1. begin a side to side, rocking motion. when he begins to stride.
2. Lean forward and take a step forward with the foot opposite your glove side. You’re ready to react quickly!

On Base Routine
*Develop a mental checklist to go through every time you reach base. do it on every pitch, before you take your lead.

is there a force on me
where is the defense playing
is there an outfielder I can run on
where’s the ball
does the pitcher have a good pickoff move
