Infield Triangle Read

Your job today

Three ground balls per round — one to your right, one straight, one to your left. Field it clean, then make an accurate throw to first.

What good looks like: Glove down early, work THROUGH the ball, and put the throw chest-high to first.

Why it matters: This is the most-repeated play in baseball. A clean ground ball plus a catchable throw equals an out — every single time.

How it works

Coach fungoes 3 grounders per round (right, middle, left). Fielder demonstrates triangle approach, glove read, and accurate throw to first. Logs clean fields and on-target throws.
