Description

Coach Jake goes deep into the essentials of great outfield play. A very underlooked subject but very valuable.

Jake is going to share with you different principles, strategies, and drills you can use to improve your outfielders right away. He talks about things like:

  • The Communication Factor
  • Important Numbers & Stats To Strive For
  • Building Athletic Outfielders
  • Plus more...

Stay tuned at the end for an open Q/A session, maybe one of your questions will be asked and answered.
