Pre-Season Practice Report

By Alex Miklos
#12, OF

Practice has been going pretty well.  We’ve been doing a lot of the same kind of things we’ve been doing in the past, but probably have focused a little more on hitting.  We are working on bunt coverages, team defense, individual defense and breaking into hitting stations and working on some base running.

I guess the biggest difference from last year is in the past we’ve taken live at-bats in the cages and now we’ve rigged up the turf out here to take our live at-bats out on the turf so the infielders can get some live reads off the bat.

I think it does a better job of getting us more into a game-like mentality because the pitchers can see where the ball is going and the hitters can see where they are hitting the ball.

It’s kind of hard as team sometimes to fight the cabin fever of being inside every day.  Two years ago, my freshman year, at this time we were out on our own field having practice.  Unfortunately the weather hasn’t really cooperated this year.

Knowing that for our first trip we’re going out to Arizona where the weather is going to be nice, it’s kind of like the light at the end of the tunnel.  Everyone is excited to get going and get out there.
