In this episode, we are joined by three high school head coaches. We dive into their coaching philosophies—what they focus on, how they teach it, and why it matters for their high school players. They break down how they build practice plans, handle tough coaching moments, set standards, and earn player buy-in. Along the way they trade plenty of stories from the dugout, talk through what’s actually working with today’s athletes, and admit the things they’re still figuring out.

In this episode of The Coaches Roundtable, we’re joined by a panel of seasoned baseball coaches to dive deep into the nuances of infield play. From teaching the basics of fielding ground balls to advanced positioning strategies, we explore the techniques that turn a good infield into a great one. Our coaches share their best drills for developing quick hands, strong footwork, and sharp instincts—key skills that can make or break a game. We also discuss the importance of communication, situational awareness, and how to coach players to stay calm and focused under pressure. Whether you're coaching at the youth level or working with high school or college athletes, this episode is packed with actionable insights to help your infielders perform at their best!
