As a parent or coach, how do you teach feel for the game of baseball?

In this interview, current Atlanta Braves Hall of Famer and 10 time Gold Glove winner, Andruw Jones talks about how do we as parents or coaches teach feel for the game of baseball. This is one of the best responses to a question we have had here at Hit Run Steal. You will get inside the mind of one of the greatest center fielders to ever play the game. Andruw shares how he prepares for games and probably the most important thing you can learn as a baseball player and athlete is to learn yourself and what you can do.

Andruw Jones is a former Major League Baseball player and Nippon Professional Baseball Player. Andruw spent 17 seasons with the Atlanta Braves (where he is an Atlanta Braves Hall of Famer), Los Angeles Dodgers, Texas Rangers, Chicago White Sox, New York Yankees, and the Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles. Andruw is widely regarded as one of, if not the best defensive outfielders to ever play in Major League Baseball. Andruw won the Rawlings Gold Glove Award and astonishing 10 times as the best defensive outfielder in baseball. Andruw also won the Silver Slugger Award and the Hank Aaron Award in 2005. He was voted an MLB All-Star five times during his career.

Our goal at Hit Run Steal is to have every child play baseball/softball at the highest level they choose. Over the past few weeks, I hit the road and talked to people at all levels of the game. MLB Coaches, MLB Gold Glove Winners, Elite Travel Coaches, and Top Instructors to get their thoughts on youth sports. We cover Fundamentals, Coaching, Parent Involvement, Multi-Sport Vs One Sport and Much, Much, More. I hope you enjoy the interviews.
