Infield:
you field the ball off your left leg with one hand, you only use two hands if you are turning a double play. You read where the ball bounces in front of homeplate. If it hits in the dirt it will have different spin than the grass. you want a short or long hop everytime. You bring the ball right to your ear and then you reach out and try to touch the first baseman glove.
Outfield
catch it before it hits the ground with one hand (more catch area radius) you hit the cutoff man every time. throw the ball firm but to the cutoff man, if he wants to let it go let him make that decision. If it is a can of corn make it look like you are bored when you catch it
Pitching
Pressure on fingers is way more important than actual position of fingers on ball. you break your hands as late as you can and swing your arm as close to your body as you can, behind you. When you break your hands kick your foot forward. when you land your front shoulder should still be pointed at the target for separation. You hold onto the ball as long as you can and when you finish you try to punch the dirt at the bottom of the mound because that makes you throw the ball down hill not reach out to the catcher because that makes your pitches flat.
