Hall believes in three goals in the set-up; create a downhill plane, maximize velocity and put pitchers in the position to allow them to do the same thing every day. To relieve pressure on the arm, Hall instructs through dry drills. This keeps pitchers sharp without throwing every day. With the ball, a good drill is the hand extension and spin drill. Kneeling drills put pitchers on a knee to emphasize power and finish. Other drills include the square drill, stretch stride and stretch stride to balance. The 60-foot and 90-foot toss drill focuses on footwork and throwing. This drill works out to the player's maximum distance. Crow hop, arm action, and grips complete the drill catalog. 59 minutes. 2008. The Art of the Infield: 3-Step Approach for the Complete Infielder with Bo Durkac, University of North Carolina-Charlotte Assistant Coach Excellent infield players progressively learn the skills needed in the infield one at a time. Many different skills and techniques combine to make up a total player. Coach Durkac breaks down his fielding instruction into three areas: get to the ball as quickly as possible, catch and secure the ball, and throw the ball. First step quickness is the key to solid fielding. To achieve that skill, Durkac teaches proper touchdown technique, which is the point where both feet make contact with the ground to field the ball. He also shows drop step technique that helps players handle all three types of hoppers. The two quick shuffles technique is taught as an approach skill prior to fielding the ball. Three throws are used when making double plays, and are demonstrated in this presentation. The rake and making plays with your feet are additional skills demonstrated. 81 minutes. 2008.

NEW! Oklahoma State Two-Pack

Frank Anderson's Pitching Clinic with Frank Anderson, Oklahoma State University Head Coach; former University of Texas Pitching Coach (including College World Series Championship season in 2002) In Pitching Clinic, Coach Anderson leads you through a pitching progression for pitchers at all levels. Finding the normal arm swing for each pitcher is the initial concern. A favorite drill of Anderson's gives a coach an opportunity to view the pitcher's normal arm swing. He shows how a routine ground ball can help coaches analyze a pitcher's arm slot. Anderson breaks down the wind up, grip (based on the four seam fastball grip), the rocker step and the stride. Other factors are the backside action, eliminate the front side, squared shoulders and releasing the ball through home plate. The follow through is the key to releasing the ball to the plate. A set of progression drills includes: Open up/backside action and figure eight drill. Anderson concludes with a detailed step-by-step review of each element of the throw. 37 minutes. 2008. The Lost Art of Outfield Play with Frank Anderson, Oklahoma State University Head Coach; former University of Texas Pitching Coach (including College World Series Championship season in 2002) When players are younger, the less talented players are put in the outfield. Consequently, players do not work on the finer points of outfield play. Coach Anderson begins with glove selection. The main thing is choosing a glove that you can handle and has a "feel." Among other things, a good center field knows how to control other outfielders and has the ability to read and track the ball as it leaves the bat and catch it. Anderson plugs in footage of his players' reaction to the ball in practice. He breaks down his pre-practice routine, which starts with running and stretching, followed by long toss progression and position specific catches. Drills shown help develop the skill of catching a ball in various situations. Anderson leads his players through stance and positioning while demonstrating his progression drills. 30 minutes. 2008.
