About this episode

This episode features John Rypel discussing the development of elite infielders in baseball.

On this episode we are joined by former collegiate, current high school coach, John Rypel. We focus on developing elite infielders. What should young players prioritize — hands, footwork, arm strength, or baseball IQ? We break down drills that build consistency, the importance of pre-pitch preparation, and how communication turns four individuals into one defensive unit. Plus so much more!
