1. Practice catching the ball properly in the outfield. When making a throw from a fly ball, you should be behind the ball with some forward momentum. Catch the ball on the throwing hand side to make the transfer from catch to throw as efficient as possible.

2. Catching a ball in the sun can be difficult. Use sunglasses when possible. Shade your eyes with your glove and brim of your cap, and learn to angle your body away from the sun to cut off glare.

3. When moving to field a fly ball, remember the words ´Get Sideways.´ By doing a drop step and remaining sideways on your approach, you will have a much better chance to field the ball cleanly. ´Getting Sideways´ helps you avoid backpedalling, which often gets you in the most trouble.
