Here’s how it will work:
In addition to Live on-field BP and Live Gameplay, we will focus on key baseball areas:
- 3 keys to top infield play
- Advanced Outfield play
- Pitching and catching
- Competition, live games and in-game instruction
From all over the diamond, our World Class instructors are bringing the Factory National Player Development program to Frederick, MD!
Sample of other areas we will cover:
- Infield – double plays, slow rollers, tags and back hands
- Outfield – Drop step, routes, “do or die” throws, making a “good arm – great”
- Catching – winning strikes, footwork, “blocking the right way”
- Pitchers – new grips/pitches, holding runners on, “how to pitch”
- And more!
All training will take place in small groups and players will all get 12 hours of game play and instruction!
All players will also get a video review (Pitching and Hitting).
All pitchers will be filmed during live outings for instructional purposes.
