Last Sunday was our first day outside in quite a while and the kids were ready to go. They did their pre-practice warmups and were ready to hit the field. One of the key components of being a successful baseball team is the ability to consistently perform a perfect and complete cut-off. It's quite an art to make a perfect cut-off routine. Even in the major leagues they still don't have perfect cut-offs every time. The drill went pretty well and they learned quite a bit. Throughout the season we will constantly refresh because, again, to win games, you have to be able to perform a good cut-off.
Throughout the cut-off drills my outfielders got a lot of fly ball practice. They desperately needed that as well.
Practice was basically over after that. We did some running and called it a day.
I wish you luck on your games!
