In this episode of The Performance Baseball Podcast, we’re breaking down the drills that actually move the needle for player development. From the cage to the field, we share our go-to drills for hitting, defense, pitching, and game awareness — the ones we use every week because they work. We’ll talk about why these drills deliver real results, how to adapt them for different age groups, and what to avoid when practice turns into “busy work.” Whether you’re a coach building a better practice plan or a player looking to sharpen your skills, these are the drills that make a difference.

In this episode, Adam Young and Josh Riley sit down with Jimmy Filingeri, host of the Clearing the Bases podcast and longtime high school baseball coach, to talk about what it truly means to develop both players and coaches. Jimmy shares his journey through the game, lessons learned from years of building programs, and his philosophy on culture, communication, and player development. From the youth level to high school baseball, this conversation dives deep into what separates good coaches and players from great ones — and how to build a team culture that lasts far beyond the final score.
