Footwork. There seems to be a “stutter step” obsession going on in INF drills/training. Are stutter steps sometimes necessary to be on time with feet to field the ball. Yes. But just a few.

I call it the "showcase shuffle".

Agreed @CoachMongero

"showcase" analytics number driven events have magnified the reasoning behind it.. go to these and chase numbers. 79 pitter patter steps so they can chunk it as hard as possible. Congrats on your 95 velo but it took you 8 seconds to get ride of it. Not game like at all.

Oh wow, two handed fielding! I love to see it!!

It also wastes time staying back instead of attacking the ball. Never understood why this is so rampant among Shortstops, specially.

More likely to see someone’s infield combine reps than a game rep. Also, harder to capture the complete footwork of game reps due to limited camera/production abilities. When you know where the ball is going there’s time to do extra stuff; stutter step, glove presentation, etc

agree 100%. Admittedly I struggle with players that place more emphasis on the "prep step" style than the task at hand which is being prepared to anticipate and field the ball.
