Jonathan D.

Diving play at catcher, got the runner out.

Late game triple, 360 right center.

We focused on working down to the ball, keeping my hips centered, instead of rising on my toes to the ball.

Im breaking up my swing to work on my stride becoming connected through launch instead of reaching. Additionally working on keeping my head and chest closed when doing full swinging.

Was having problems striding with my foot instead of my legs and hips, used this start stop drill to focus on coiling and staying connected through my separation.

Almost 1 month out from High school season!

Stole 2nd, 3rd, then home after a walk. We won 9-1

Last strike of my first time pitching while playing with JV. Won the game 6-5

First homerun of my high school season, 330 ft, scored 2 runs tying the game and helping us win 4-3

While in extra innings, the ball gets through the shortstop and gets to me at 2nd. As everyone was not paying attention I tried the hidden ball trick, which resulted in the runner getting tagged out but later was called safe due to the umpire messing up with the pitcher and mound

Soft Toss at Tigers Practice. Worked on situations in the batters box. I also worked on staying back and trying to limit rising up. Eventually, I worked towards loading in the hip more and driving. All deep hits with no grounders or pop-ups.

Just got done with hitting. We worked on coiling in the hip, staying down and connected with the ground, and creating space between the hands and shoulder.

Hitting at the cages yesterday, I made sure to stay back and fire the back hips.

First practice after Notre Dame training camp last weekend.

Drill progression for Jonathan Drainer (Parkway South ‘28) Jonathan’s biggest issue is that he’s pushy with both his lower, and upper body. With these drills, we are trying to get a feel for what it’s like to rotate to throw.

Hitting at PG showcase.

Infield for the PG showcase. 68 mph infield velo.
