The Real Deal: Throwing Footwork

The third part of this warm-up consisted of throwing footwork off the machine. The video just shows footwork towards second base but Realmuto worked footwork to third as well. We like to work in footwork to first base as well, be it from the knees or on our feet.

Obviously, if you don't have a machine, having a coach or partner feed will work just fine. You can always adjust the distance and have the feeder move closer to simulate higher velocity. Either way, the key is getting your feet down quickly and in line with your target.
