Video from Nick Shumpert, he's is a minor leaguer. Don't get a view from this angle often, thought it was an interesting video given how recent and seamless the transition was for Mookie.

  1. This is awesome. Shows the one of the many nuances of the game every player tries to perfect

  2. It’s always cool to see how much longer those throws are than they look on TV.

  3. Looks like proof LAD is circumventing the luxury tax. Theres no way the value of being able to do this is being factored into Betts’ compensation. No way we dont get a lockout /s

  4. There are some sports which look so beautiful and pure. I can imagine the players miss it when they retire.

  5. I played exactly two years of baseball in my life. One year of tee ball and one year of benchwarming in high school.

    But I feel like with Mookie as a teacher even I could be something approaching decent.

  6. That would be funny if the dodgers got so good and expensive the top 15 players just informed them they aren’t going to spring training no more. We’ll just practice here

  7. Guy closes out a single World Series with a winning double play at a position then starts giving out advice like he’s been there the whole time smh 🙄 stick to critiquing 7-10 splits buddy, let the rest of us focus on 6-3 double plays

  8. What does “lost my tilt” mean? It’s to do with ensuring the ball flies with a “slice” (i.e., drifts to the right, probably to ensure the ball’s flying with backspin) instead of diving. But what’s the mechanic?

  9. I don’t recall his move being seamless, I’ve heard him and Miguel Rojas talk about it being a lot of hard work for Mookie to get strong at SS. Good on him putting in the time to refine his technique at SS

  10. For someone that has never played, why does Mookie want to see the ball drift to the right on the throw rather than go dead straight?

  11. It must be so nice to play on a field of this quality. Pros are very fortunate that field maintenance has come a long way.

  12. For me, heaven is taking infield ground balls on a professionally manicured ball field with no pain in my knees, hips, or shoulder.
