Big 6 “Must Know” Dirt Bro Baseball Infield Drills

Description

The Big 6: Must-Know Baseball Infield Drills

Give your infield work a purpose—and a progression.

Consistent defense starts with quality preparation. The Dirt Bro Big 6 gives players, parents, and coaches six partner drills designed to develop better footwork, cleaner glove actions, and more efficient transitions into the throw.

Developed by Coach Trent Mongero, National High School Coach of the Year and author of Winning Baseball, and Taber Mongero, a former four-year Division 1 starting shortstop and former UNCW infield coach, this program explains both how to execute each drill and why it matters.

What’s Included

• Six core partner drills: Hop Variations, Ozzie, Choose Your Hop, 3 Step–5 Step, Fly Ball, and Make Plays.
• 29 instructional videos: Access teaching, demonstrations, drill variations, and the principles behind the routine.
• Step-by-step progressions: Move from simple movements to more challenging work as the player develops.
• Key training concepts: Learn how to balance drills with ground balls, work “quick but not in a hurry,” and use a quality feeder.
• Complete-content videos and individual lessons: Watch the full drill sequence or revisit a specific teaching point.
• A downloadable, interactive PDF guide: Keep your instruction organized and open each video by tapping its linked lesson row.

Learn the Details That Make the Drills Work

Going through the motions isn’t enough. Each drill includes video instruction so players and coaches can understand its purpose, recognize the important details, and practice with better direction.

Watch “The Teach” before beginning a drill, then work through its variations. Return to the lesson whenever you need a refresher.

Who Is This For?

Baseball infielders, parents, and coaches—from youth development through the collegiate and professional levels.

Players as young as 8 can begin with age- and ability-appropriate variations. Coaches and parents can use the teaching videos to guide execution and help players progress at a manageable pace.

These are partner drills, so a teammate, coach, or parent is needed to feed the ball and support the work.

Build It Into Your Practice

Use all six drills or select the ones that fit your training goals. Begin with the fundamentals, emphasize correct execution, and add complexity as the player becomes comfortable.

The Big 6 complements actual ground-ball work, giving you a structured way to isolate skills before putting them together.

Refined Through Decades of Coaching

Trent Mongero used many of these drills as a Division 1 shortstop and refined the routine throughout 30+ years of coaching. Taber began working with the drills as a child and continued using them through his college career.

Trent has presented this instruction at more than 10 state high school coaches conventions and on the ABCA Convention main stage.
