Saturday mornings are skills competition days as Team Blue and Team Red round out the week of work with baseball related drills competing against each other, it’s a fun way to wrap up each week while also incorporating baseball training. Today we watch long throw relays, catch and throw releases, targeted throwing and pepper drills as part of the competition. It’s cool to see the competitive fire in the players but also having fun and building camaraderie at the same time. Good stuff.
