Every coach continuously looks for ways to help their team score more runs. Moving from the batting cage to the diamond, Stetson University head coach Steve Trimper gives you a way to help your players score more runs in this team offense instructional video. Cage drills, hitting philosophy, bunting skills, baserunning skills and a team batting practice are all explained by Coach Trimper and then executed by players on field.

Cage Drills

Stetson's hitting coach, Joe Mercadante, leads players through a series of 11 drills to help hitters build sound swings. The drills start off on the tee and progress to front toss and live toss formats. Mercadante gives an explanation of a fundamentally correct launch position for hitters and then shows how to drill for this with two versions of the Static Launch Position Drill. Hitter adaptability is developed through the Changing Speeds and Multiple Plate Drills so players can learn how to make adjustments.

Bunting Techniques

Coaches at all levels of the game can benefit from executing "small ball." Trimper demonstrates bunting techniques for the sacrifice, base hit, squeeze, and slash bunts. Starting with when and how to square around and building to bat angles, using your elbows correctly and bunt placement, Coach Trimper shows how each type of bunt should be executed. Stetson players wrap things up in this portion by demonstrating each type of bunt live on the field in the Cone Drill.

Baserunning Skills

Coach Trimper takes you "around the horn" by demonstrating how to correctly run the bases at each base. Primary and secondary leads, base stealing and tag plays are all covered. An explanation on how to be a better 3rd base coach is also included. Trimper lets you see how everything is put together on the practice field in his baserunning circuits.

The First and Third Batting Practice Scrimmage wraps up the video and gives you a look at how to organize a drill that works on a variety of offensive skills. This will help your players execute both offensive and defensive situations in a fast-paced and competitive environment, making your practice more "game-like" and enjoyable for your players.

Offense is about more than just hitting, it's about scoring runs. Coach Trimper teaches you how to build the skills needed to score runs without having to rely on hitting alone to do so in this comprehensive video.
