to field almost every ball. I assume he thinks he is getting into position to block a bad hop, but he never actually has his body in front of it and he rarely fields it cleanly. He needs to be on the bench, but if not, he needs to stay on his feet.

That probably won’t help with his horrible throwing though.

A decent high school infield wins this game tonight.

His mechanics are flat out awful. He’s always in a rush and never gets his feet underneath him. The kid has a cannon. No need to be in a hurry on every attempt. It’s obviously in his head now as his confidence is shot.

Our shortstop slides to the ground almost on every play. Our second baseman is playing goalie during sudden death penalty kicks and goes the wrong way, and our third baseman well is not a third baseman.

It’s flawed. Stud college infielders can make those plays without doing what he does. Just facts. Watch elite players and big leaguers. They don’t have to do that.
