Same. I was in intensive reading from 6th-8th grade. It was a hard time.

Super interesting. New prep step he was doing this year. See the increase in; reaction, burst and feet covered.

Laps as punishment teach kids that running is bad. Stop it.

Bazzana last night with the bait. Gets Fortes to glove drop then next pitch goes on momentum. Bazzana is one of the better base stealers who does momentum (Hoerner probably being #1). Great job jabbing trying to get a pk, knows he's not going so not being aggressive.

Delay steal at 2nd... Why not? Always finding ways to get x90. Finding ways to catch the defense sleeping.

1st video: '25 Prep Step. Stationary, right foot step. 2nd Video '26: Stationary left foot into side shuffle. 3rd video "26: Stationary left foot into hop.
This is an outstanding fielding breakdown. Davy Andrews used all three best public fielding metrics (that's quite rare!) to show Seiya Suzuki's improvement this season. He then used Statcast jump/route numbers and coaching commentary to show how Seiya has made these improvements:

youtube.com/watch?v=25l8dmy3… Classic video! "That's it, I found it." Nails it next try. What I love about coaching. Whether it be hitting, outfield, catching, baserunning. Speaking to guys, crating environments. When it clicks for them, it's such a magical moment.

Fans don't get to see the jump and or the WHOLE play. #MSFTFielders

Many are unhappy and saying this is an easy play. Here's the breakdown: Bolte was positioned well into right-center. He got a good jump. He's the fastest player in baseball. Most outfielders can't get there in time to make this catch, Bolte makes it look routine. Yes, the glove squeeze is easy, it's the "getting there" that's not.

Young has a very unique prep step. He "cheats" to his right. Gets going early, why his reaction times are so elite. #MSFTFielders
Move him back 12 feet toward his starting point, and that's where a typical outfielder would have been...

@KKiermaier39 Your burst was the best in the league during that time. Noticed you were static with your prep step. As where JBJ was a walk in w/ his prep step, was the best reaction time which would make sense. Did you ever mess with movement in your prep step?

@KKiermaier39 You for sure were the best OF in the game during your time. Not even close! Would love to pick your brain as an OF coach myself. #MSFTFielders
To all 30 MLB teams out there. Im bein creative here but just need to get the word out. I wanna revolutionize outfield defense on many levels. No one loves loves this stuff like I do! I wanna change players lives/careers by maximizing defensive potential! My obsession! Lets go!
