Here is the video of the push bunt being executed in a game at the D1 level that was in the original video. Not much you can do to defend it, so hitters that can handle the bat should work to master it! Free hits in your back pocket!

Teams that don’t strike out at a high clip win more games. Simple as that. This is amplified at the college level — and even more at the high school level and below. Once you get to two strikes, it becomes a team at-bat. Grind it out. Compete your tail off. Choke up, shorten up, widen out, move closer to the plate — whatever helps you execute your two-strike approach. Some call it their “B swing.” Make the pitcher work. We preach “look fastball away and adjust,” but there are plenty of effective two-strike approaches. You have to experiment and find what fits your swing and mindset best. A quality two-strike approach often leads to hard-hit balls. But even when it doesn’t, the defense still has to field it, throw it, and catch it. That’s pressure. A lot tougher to defend than a right turn back to the dugout. #DoingDirtWork

Becoming an elite thrower doesn’t happen by accident. Here are two more catch-play drills from our “Spin Cycle” progression that teach players how to make throws when the play takes their eyes and body away from the target. These are 2 of the 20 throwing drills my teams execute daily in progression. I promise they work. When taught correctly and reinforced every day, players gain confidence, make more plays, and ultimately help teams win more games. Our Dirt Bro “Most Important 20 Minutes of Practice” throwing routine is designed to build advanced throwers and separate elite defenders from the rest. This isn’t random catch play. It’s a daily progression built to improve arm action, accuracy, footwork, body control, and game-like throwing instincts. Train with purpose. Defend at a different level. Get it here:

Self-Toss Short Hop Drill One of the best ways to develop game-ready hands in a small space. Work ground balls at you, declared backhands, and glove-side picks with both 1-hop and 2-hop variations. Keys: 1. Start low, stay low, move low. 2. Be on time to the short hop. 3. Let your feet create the hop you want. If you’re late, you’ll get an in-between hop. Really late? A big hop. Neither is the goal. Elite defenders hunt the short hop. Simple setup. Tons of reps. Big-time transfer to the game.

Simple drill training to develop soft, “pillow-like” hands in all three glove lanes: neutral, forehand, and backhand. Using firm, belly-button-high underhand feeds with a real baseball, this drill develops rhythm, tempo, timing, soft touch, and hand-eye coordination. Adding a second baseball increases the difficulty and challenges even elite players’ hands, focus, and timing.

On time and ready to go forwards, backwards, laterally, or diagonally to field a rocket! Notice the 3rd baseman, how he is starting lower than SS or 2B. Do simple better and you’ll be amazed at the results! #DoingDirtWork

Receiving the baseball is one of the most overlooked fundamentals in the game. The way you catch the ball is one of the first things coaches, recruiters, and scouts notice. Do you receive it cleanly? Do you dominate the catch? Do your feet put you in position to make an efficient transition into your throw? For infielders and catchers, those details matter. So does knowing when to catch with one hand versus two. This 101-level video covers the fundamental actions that build cleaner catches, quicker transfers, and better baseball IQ. Master the simple things, and the difficult plays become much easier. Trent Mongero #DoingDirtWork

Bunting for a hit is extremely valuable. It’s a weapon. I’ve always believed that players who can consistently bunt for hits can raise their batting average by 50–100 points over the course of a season, get on base more, and score more runs. Here, I share the purpose and techniques behind the push bunt (one of the easiest to execute if you know how to do it the right way). #DoingDirtWork

“The Ozzie Drill.” Back in 1998, I watched an ESPN interview with Ozzie Smith where he talked about one of his favorite drills — one he used to “improve, polish, and trust his glove instincts.” In the drill, Ozzie got on his knees while a coach peppered him from short distance. The goal was to let the hands work freely to pick or press short hops and in-between hops. No thinking. Just react and trust. Because thinking is slow. I stayed up at night trying to figure out how to adapt this drill for a full group of infielders. One night, I woke up out of a dead sleep with the answer — a way to make the drill simple, repeatable, and predictable for teaching purposes. Once players mastered the foundation, we could expand the drill, make it unpredictable, and challenge instincts at a much higher level. -Trent Mongero

Controlled aggression and purpose behind every swing. Don’t just push the ball around the field. But don’t swing max effort trying to hit pull-side home runs every round of BP either. MLB hitters are the strongest and most physical players in the game. They could launch balls out all day if they wanted to. Yet the great ones understand that batting practice is about building a swing that performs in games. Watch hitters like Miguel Cabrera. Sure, they hit some out, but they aren’t constantly hooking and top-spinning balls to the pull side. They’re hunting backspin and driving the baseball with authority. Controlled aggression and driving the ball to the opposite-field gap helps hitters stay on fastballs to all fields, avoid pulling off, and buy time to adjust to off-speed pitches and breaking balls. Many amateur hitters struggle with both because they train their swing to look good in BP, not perform in games. They become one-dimensional. Be a mature hitter. Train for game performance, not batting practice applause.

A couple keys on the *press* glove action when dealing with the extremely tough short in between hop that often eats infielders up… Dirt Bro instructor, Taber Mongero, explains the common flaw of wasted time/space when using the press glove action, and how it should be eliminated. Following this explanation, you can see Taber execute the press glove action at game speed on a play where it was extremely necessary. The reason why he is using the press glove action on this play is to turn a tricky short in between hop into a much more manageable short hop by pressing forward through the ball before bringing the ball back to his mid line center line and throwing to first for the out. #DoingDirtWork

Winning baseball. Check the box ✅ A guy with 23 home runs and 73 RBI lays down a safety squeeze in the College World Series to score a huge run. That’s winning baseball. How many tools are in your toolbox? How many different ways can you impact the game and hurt the opponent? Or are you one-dimensional? Or worse… selfish? “I don’t bunt, I hit bombs.” Championship teams and championship players can do it all. Team-first mentality. Beautiful. Refreshing.

Offensive execution skills can help develop better barrel control, barrel awareness, barrel manipulation, and pitch-tracking ability. Several of these drills can also help shorten the swing, making them especially valuable when facing elite velocity or implementing an effective two-strike approach. Elite hitters don’t just train their swing, they train their ability to execute. Trent Mongero Taber Mongero

The better the pitching, the more important a hitter’s approach becomes. For advanced hitters, success is often determined long before stepping into the batter’s box. Here are a few keys that can help you “cheat the test” by gathering information, identifying tendencies, and developing a plan of attack against the current pitcher. The best hitters don’t just react...they prepare, observe, and make adjustments throughout the game. Trent Mongero

Play offense on defense. Let the ball (your instincts and read) dictate whether you need to retreat and lengthen the hop. Don’t fall into the trap of automatically taking drop steps. If you’re on time with your prep-step and your eyes are in the imaginary strike zone of the hitter, you’ll know almost immediately whether the play requires a drop step to create more space and make the hop more manageable. And remember: you don’t need fancy gadgets, pitch-backs, or eye-catching drills to get game ready. A wall, some open space, and a tennis racket can be all you need to develop elite defensive skills.
