In case anyone is counting, today is my 600th post!  Hope you have enjoyed it as much as I have!

As I say at the start of today’s video, I’ve started to see a number of programs teaching fielders to scoop the ball up instead of the traditional funneling-in method.  I’m partial to the funnel method but I’m ok with a player finding his own way – as long as he makes the play.

Listen to the pros and cons and let me know what you think!
