Agreed. My son learned to field from his Puerto Rican coach. He taught him to be soft with his hands and footwork even at third. Very different than his travel ball coach who teaches differently.
To the coach- baseball is also taught as a team game in America. Of course the stars will be highlighted. It seems he means they play with more heart perhaps?
for all u guys in the comments: just remember the goal of each drill and what he does then see how he improves in time like watch backpedal and find the short hop that is a very hard reading drill by its self, but he does clearly get better at it as time goes on doesnt matter how good he is now, it matters if he keeps on improving consistently
I really enjoyed this video. Seeing the training methods and the coach’s thoughts at the end of different cultural differences in baseball were really interesting. It would be great to see more videos featuring players outside the US! Also, what was the coach’s name? Would love to give him a follow!
nope, you havent seen the 1000s of professional minor league infielders in America. You should watch their videos as well before assuming this. They also have to execute in game than in practice.
There are a few kids on my son's team here in Asahikawa (Hokkaido) that are just as good. This kid is talented but in Japan, this is the norm. tbh. My son's team practices 6 days a week, and 6 hrs a day on Sat/Sun. Even if they have a game they practice before and after. Agree with the strictness point, it's almost like military-style in the way the (監督) director/head coach runs the team practices. but the kids love playing baseball here.
En mi pais ver niños con esas características es normal,la diferencia es que no tienes las luces que tiene ese niño 🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴 Dominican Republic the best country in basseball
I agree, but I think he is just teaching him that it's ok in some scenarios to back peddle. Just needs to make sure it doesn't become a habit to do every time.
The think I love about Japanese players are they aren't hot headed, they respect other players they control their tempers/emotions unlike most other players from other countries. I'm sticking with that it's true.
Can't wait to reverse engineer their drills and interactions. Miyabi's skills are definitely representative to the quality of training that he receives.
Like every player who's drafted to the league are hit and miss. So what are you saying? Baseball, basketball, football, soccer, hockey there isn't a guarantee dude.
Not really sure that arc is going to help, especially for the real fast runners who can get to 1st in 3 seconds. Also, just way too many unnecessary stutter steps and that double clutch would cost him many outs
