I know some people (especially youth baseball tournament organizations lol) may think that Infield/Outfield is just some romantic part of pre-game that isn’t really necessary or just a waste of time☝🏽However, I could make a strong argument that most players (that I coach anyway) enjoy that 10-15 minutes of showing off their skill set in a more relaxed setting😎 We’ve all played those games when for whatever reason you just don’t get a ball hit to you all game🤷🏻‍♂️ And from a mental standpoint, I do believe different pregame routines and rituals can impact in game performance positively (or negatively) depending on what they are and how well we execute them👊🏽 I’m obviously not suggesting an I/O before every game at a tournament because that’s unrealistic, but I also think allowing one ten minute I/O per day per team… or even one I/O per tournament isn’t that unreasonable, especially if it means watching cleaner games on defense⚾️📈✌🏽 calbaseball cbodish30 catchers_core #baseball #...
