OUTFIELD TRAINING

Outfield Play

Outfield play is one of the most under-coached yet game-critical areas in baseball. Many of the plays that decide wins and losses happen beyond the infield-and we prepare our athletes to make them with confidence, efficiency, and explosiveness. We focus on technique, athleticism, and game-readiness through:

Burst Acceleration & Range Development
Elite range begins with mastering specific acceleration patterns:

Forward & Angled Forward Acceleration

Lateral & Angled Lateral Acceleration

Backward & Backward Angled Acceleration

We pair this with the development of a quick, efficient hip turn that allows players to accelerate fluidly in all directions without hesitation.
Throwing Technique
We break down and train each element of the outfield throw:

Proper fielding position and footwork

Quick, efficient transfer and compact backswing

Momentum generation toward the target

Proper outfield technique not only elevates game performance-it opens doors. With focused development, outfielders can reach their full potential and become legitimate candidates to play at the next level.

Baseball Outfield Training FAQs

What skills are covered in outfield training beyond catching fly balls?

Reads, routes, speed glove work, footwork into throws, long-hop accuracy, communication, and cutoff/relay on the full bases, overall practice on the outfield, and more than high pops.

Yes. We practice momentum on the catch, quick transfers, and smooth arm path. We practice on throws with timing and targets, so accuracy translates to games.

This program is designed for outfielders of all levels, rom developing youth players to high school athletes looking to compete at the next level. Drills are adapted based on each player’s ability and growth areas.

With focused development, players gain the technical skills, athletic range, and field awareness that coaches at the next level look for. Proper outfield technique shows polish and preparation, key differentiators in scouting evaluations.

Yes. We incorporate real-time video review to give players visual feedback on their mechanics, movement efficiency, and decision-making. This allows for faster corrections and deeper learning.
