Fielding
Good defense wins ballgames. Great defense wins the Rawlings Gold Glove Award®. You need to be consistent on routine plays but also make the spectacular catches. Use products with the fielding icon to develop hand eye coordination, quick reflexes, and great hands.

Throwing
Whether through pitching or fielding assists, great throwing is associated with great defense. While it’s important at all positions, having a strong arm is especially important for outfielders, pitchers and catchers. You need to have arm strength, accuracy and endurance to be truly effective. Use products with the throwing icon to develop a stronger, healthier arm built for the long run.

Hitting for Average
A high average hitter puts the ball in play, gets on base and moves runners around to score. You need a balanced swing, a good eye at the plate and great hand eye coordination. Look for the average icon on products and spend as much time as possible using them to fine tune your swing.

You need to be strong physically, but also have a great swing to consistently get extra base hits. Using products with the power icon will build your strength, bat speed and help you develop a powerful swing, turning you into a threat at the plate.
