Dansby Swanson's GOLD GLOVE Infield Routine

In this video we talk about the progressions I take with my infield work. I do this for most games and is a key part of my defensive success.

I wish we had access to information from GG players and MLB coaches like this when I was a kid. Hopefully the channel keep growing and youth players take advantage of this knowledge getting passed down.

Coach Wash’s fingerprints are all over this routine…what a great teacher!

[GreenwavesforChrist]

It’s not just the information. I’ve been coaching Baseball for 25 years. The information is great, but it’s more about the coach/player speaking the information in a way that average players can understand. That is the most valuable thing to me.

A magnificent fielder: yes. But the desire to get better through meticulous practice: phenomenal. Love his mindset!

Best infield defender in the game. Miss watching you in the A, Dansby!

HS coach for 34 years. Just found your channel and shared this and your channel with my team. I really appreciate that you explain how and why you do what you do. Fantastic stuff! Look forward to seeing what else you share. P.S. I really appreciate sharing stuff with our kids from guys who are class act guys as well. Thank you! Good luck in '24! Go Cubs!

Hi Dansby, I’m a big fan of yours, and I was wondering if you could make a video on the mental aspect of the game, and how not to get in your head while playing. I think it could really help a lot of players, especially hearing it from an mlb player.

Thanks, go cubs 💙❤️

Thanks Dansby! for the advice and taking the time out of your busy day to talk with us about your infield routine. Go Cubs ♥️💙🐻

My experience with the one hand technique is that on perfectly manicured fields it works great. On a field that adds more unpredictability, getting in front of the ball and having that other hand there to secure it is a valuable skill. Great Video!

Unreal that this is free content - so, so valuable. Thank you, Dansby!

We miss you on the Braves, but wish you nothing but success wherever your career takes you. Class act and amazing individual. Swanny fan for life!

This is so good!! Sharing with our softball girls- thank you for doing content like this!! 🔥

[russjohnston]

Thank you for sharing this knowledge with the younger generation of players. This is one of the best ways to keep the game alive. Best wishes in your’24 season, Dansby!

S/o the great Ron Washington. He's finally getting his credit for these infield drills that he created. So many players that have gone through the braves organization have really benefited from them. Salute dansby! One of the best SS in the game!

Could never be enough of this content. Love to see it.

This video was extremely helpful for me while I work with my 8 year old son. Thank you!

[MrRod]

I do these exact drills with my 9 year old. I explained when he presses through to the sides it has to be one handed and made him use both to see how much it limits his rom. Great tip on telling kids to act like they have brace on the wrist.

man this was so awesome to watch and very informative. Great video Dansb!!

[toddwilliamson]

Awesome demonstration of what you try to accomplish and thought process! Would love to see how you work balls you have to take angles that are deep to your left and right

[devisedbydev]

Love it, Dansby. Hopefully you don't mind me sharing cuts of this with our 12U Select baseball team. Lots of these types of videos but you do an EXCELLENT job at explaining things for younger players.
