Cedillo isn’t on the official roster handed out at the Diamond Dinner. Don't see him on the website either. |

Word on the street (and in another post above) is that Cedillo will play for Cal State San Marcos this season.
And getting back to Trosky.........if he starts don't we have to find spots for Lenin and and Stalin?

With Canham's presser he mentioned how good Trosky is on defense. Does he lock down one of the infield positions? Hainline, I believe, is considered an average defender. Caraway is still an unknown. Bazzana really isn't known as a great defender, not bad, just not great. Trying to figure out where everyone slots in the infield positions plus DH out of Guerra, Bazzana, Hainline, Caraway, and Trosky. Does Krieg or Peterson come into the discussion? I do think Bazzana has 2nd base locked down, I just don't see moving him to another infield position. It also sounded like he was implying that Trosky's bat isn't ready yet. Canham also said that Trosky will be keeping the pressure on Hainline and Bazzana to perform.
Putting that all together, I think Trosky is #2 on the depth chart, but will spell either of them when they need a day of rest or when we need the defense.
That's my take on it, but I, too, was impressed with what Coach said about Trosky and I hope he gets out there a bit.

I was wondering if they might move Trosky to 3rd, Carraway to 1st, and DH Guerra. I remember he played SS and some 2nd in 2022, not sure about 3rd. Or Trosky to 1st. |

There are certainly more people on this board who know better than I do about such things, but Canham also talked about his footwork. I think footwork is important at short and second, so I still see him backing up the boys in those spots. |

Trosky played 14 at short and 8 at second. He played one game at third. In his one chance at third, Trosky booted a ball. Hot corner. Lawson ended up doubling off the runner, so no harm done. Third is a very underrated defensive position. If you have a weak link in the infield, opposing batters will find it. |

I think footwork is important at short and second, so I still see him backing up the boys in those spots. You got that right and you can add every other position on the field to the list. Pre delivery footwork/timing is fundamental to the best first defensive step after contact, as is fielding the ball in a way your footwork sets up the following throw. Oregon's winningest HS baseball coach was meticulous in how he broke down each step sequence and taught it. I've attended some workshops he taught at and it took all of a few minutes to understand why he had the success he had. One was he left little to chance, every step of nearly every situation was rehearsed over and over again by his players, but he also taught the "why" behind the footwork. Excellent coach who excelled at the teaching aspect of the game. I paid close attention to everything he said and did and the way he said it too.. . |

Excellent coach who excelled at the teaching aspect of the game. I paid close attention to everything he said and did and the way he said it too.. . There are so many intricacies in the game that most HS coaches I've been around don't know or care to focus on. From the basics of baserunning angles, correct foot on the bag, angles to take a lead at 1B to cut down a pitcher's view, defensive triangles, how to circle ground balls to create throwing footwork, how to approach field a ball off the OF wall, backup/crossover positions, correct glove/arm tech framing pitches... etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc! Lol It's a complex game and it takes very organized practices to create the muscle memory and IQ so players are proactive, not reactive in game situations. In the HS ranks is even tougher with limited coaches you have to also "coach/train". And players that aren't "specialists". |

Baseball is a game of fundamentals. Any basic fundamental should be broken down to it's smallest components which demand meticulous attention to detail. An athlete's ability to master and perfect that fundamental through endless repetition, will enable the athlete to properly execute that fundamental under game conditions.
Footwork is basic to the game. fielding, throwing, catching, baserunning. celebrating, etc.
The great coaches of our era stressed the proper execution of fundamentals. They were great teachers and demanded the correct execution of the game's fundamentals. Rod Dedeaux, Pat Casey, John Wooden, Pete Newell, Bobby Knight, Bear Bryant, Nick Saban . . . . Laser like focus on the "fundies" and sticklers for execution.

I get a little worried about throwing a freshman in there, although Carraway has supposedly a cannon for an arm. You can be the best defender, but if you can't make the throw to first accurately and in time, it doesn't matter. |

And I think you could put Ralph Miller on that list as well.
