For our pitching staff every year, one of our main points of emphasis is to field our position well. In order to do so, we put our pitchers through many repetitions of covering first base, fielding bunts, and taking ground balls.
Along with the PFP (Pitchers' Fielding Practice) we also focus on our pickoff moves to each base. Over the past years, we have won many games because of how our pitchers fielded their positions. We teach our pitchers that fielding your position is as much mental as it is physical. You have to have the attitude and the desire to field your position well. We take pride in fielding pitchers fielding their position. Coach Bonge gets into the mix when stellar play are made by yelling "Billy Chapel."
