Remember there are 3 types of hops - short, long and in between. AVOID the 'in between"!! Use "close, open" footwork to get depth on balls hit hard (creates long hop) and use footwork to the balls (creating a short hop or candy hop)
Alway expect the baseball, have an attack mentality, done worry about an error- focus on the recovering process and output over outcome always matters more.
