Infield lessons will focus on balance, approach to the ball, quick hands and feet, developing strong accurate throws and situational play.
PITCHING
Pitching lessons are also offered by Coach Hernandez. Proper form, balance, arm angle and rotation as well as learning to throw "Down Hill" are stressed in his pitching lessons. Keeping your arm healthy is the key element in developing a strong and complete pitcher.
