St. Louis Cardinals First Baseman Albert Pujols fields a ground ball
What should I be looking at?
Head positioning: As with everything in sports, the eyes are supremely important in fielding a baseball. Albert Pujols, known for his light-tower-power, shows perfect form as he watches a ground ball into his glove.
Base: Pujols' feet are square, a little more than shoulder width apart, and bent at the knees. Notice that he is not straight-legged and bent over trying to make a play. The solid, athletic base allows for the fielder to react to an unexpected hop and never be off guard!
