Why are you doing this drill?

One of the things I love about MLB Spring Training is the interviews with players on the field during their workouts. In the batting cage or out on the field, players are frequently asked what their approach is when they are doing a hitting or fielding drill. Their responses are pure gold if you are a younger player looking to improve.

No elite player does a drill “just because.” Every drill has a purpose that is specific to their needs. Some players replicate exactly what they will need to do in the game with the drill. Other players exaggerate movements to get the “feel” for something they have to do in the game. Other players work on movements that in no way replicate what they do in the game. (More on this one in the future)

The point is, if you ask a MLB player why they do a drill, they will always have an answer.

Do you?
