SIMPLIFYING THE COMPLEXITY OF INFIELD PLAY
INTRODUCING THE TROSKY KNEE VIDEO SERIES 1, 2 & 3
Coach Trosky will break down the complexity of infield play, specifically fielding ground balls and the many different variations, simplifying it into 5 Hops, the 5 - last hops. In the knee series, we focus on the 3 Hand Actions and when to use them and the 3 Fielding Lanes:

Master Your Skills with the Trosky Knee Series
Unlock Hand Versatility and Consistency Through Expert Techniques in Hop Manipulation and Purposeful Actions
Hand versatility equates to consistency. The Trosky Knee Series goes into detail on when do the hands receive, when do they press, and when do they receive. The Trosky Knee Series also dives into the 5 HOPS, Hop Manipulation and the Hand Actions required for each hop. From the firm roller to the long hop, short in-between hop to the challenging long in-between hop – every action is purposeful, leading to versatility and consistency.
COACH TROSKY SIMPLIFYING THE COMPLEX
The magic happens when infielders master the manipulation of in-between hops (MANIPULATING THE DIFFICULT HOPS): example converting short in-between hops into short hops, extending long in-between hops and making them long hops, HOP MANIPULATION, work for the 2 inch hop!

KNEE SERIES 1
Solo Series and Bonus
Series 1 is about judgment and decision-making, reading the hop, recognizing it, and reacting accordingly. Unpredictable reps are added towards the end of the drill, which help players improve their reaction time and recognize the ball.
- Create a new normal
- Slow the Game Down
- Create Repeatable Efficient Hand Actions
- Enhance Reading Hops
- Utilize the 3 Different Hand Actions
KNEE SERIES 2
3 Fielding Lanes
The “Trosky Knee 3 Hand Series” avoids the practice of “Skill Maintenance,” and “Drill Monotony,” building into each infielder elite vision, judgement, and actions from all 3 fielding lanes. We accomplish this through:
- Challenge Reps
- Decision Making Training
- Stress Inoculation Training
- Sequence Variation Training
- Learning how to 3RP Read, Recognize, React
- Rhythm Reps
KNEE SERIES 3
The Trosky 5 Hop Drill
At the core of infield play is consistency. We want our infielders to make routine plays routine and even turn difficult plays into routine ones. The key to achieving this level of consistency lies in the versatility of their hands. Versatility equals consistency, and this is where the Five-Hop Drill comes into play.
- Hop Manipulation
- Learn How to Maintain Time and Space
- Create Depth When Needed
- Learn When to Move Forward
- Create Consistent, Repeatable Actions
