Stay In Front Of The Ball


When the ball is hit at you, stay in front of it. I can't tell you how many times I see players turn away from grounders instead of getting in front of them. It may eventually cost their team a run, but they will still sidestep it. You will gain much more respect as a defensive player if you take one off the chest than if one ends up in the outfield. "Way to keep the ball in front of you" is the cliche heard when a player stays in front of the ball and it goes off his body, but have you ever heard "Way to let that one go into the outfield"?
