3B Throwing and Fielding (please help me)

I'll take a stab at it.

First off you have to be down and in the ready position to recieve a hard shot right at you just before the pitcher throws the ball.
Feet spread, knee's bent, slightly leaning forward.
Able to move in either direction left are right.
Backhand the balls on your right, Set your right leg and stride toward 1st base with your throw.
Balls hit to your left, try to catch on first bounce as you move the the left. Square to bag, set stride to 1st base. throw the ball.
Bunted ball down the 3rd base line, Charge the ball if hit softly catch in bare hand make the throw across the body. No time to set and throw.

It sounds like your not useing your legs and core to help throw the ball, Useing all arm??
You have to set that back leg quickly(RT. Leg) to make a strong throw to 1st.
Balance in your defensive stance is Key.
Hands/Glove out front. Absorb the hard hit ball. (No stiff mitt.)


Keep working at it.
EH

If you catch a hard hit ball at you, then you have lots of time to throw it, so take a couple of shuffle steps torward first and fire it over there. dont rush it

I often remind players that they should field with their feet. This includes getting in the best position to field the ball (i.e., between the shoulders/knees rather than backhand), getting the feet (and body) squared to the throwing target, and using a "block" step to initiate the throw.

This takes time to absorb, but it works.
