Leggett begins with the stance and the keys to creating the proper body angle to successfully field ground balls. He then teaches how to field balls hit directly at the fielder and then to the glove and backhand side. He also shows two ways to field slow rollers.
Additionally, Leggett demonstrates common fielding flaws and the measures to take to correct them. Some of the flaws include not fielding the ball out in front, problems with creating the proper body angle, flipping the glove over, and not staying down on the ball. The last section of the DVD is devoted to six drills that Coach Leggett uses at Clemson to develop his infielders.
Coach JP Says:
Players learn fastest and best when there is an organized step by step approach that can be easily taught and learned...then permanently committed to muscle memory.
Clemson's very successful baseball program features sound fundamental infield play...season after season. Over 25 seasons after hanging 'em up as a successful college shortstop, Jack Leggett now attracts solid talent and is know for his ability to get great things from good players. He's a very good teacher and communicator!
