A lot of time I find this happens when the ball is lined with a lot of top spin at an outfielder. The outfielder breaks towards the ball to catch it in the air but the ball dives because of the top spin and lands a couple feet in front of the outfielder. I realize the outfielder should try to block it whichever way possible, but is there a proper technique to block (keep in front) those hard hit balls that land a few feet in front of you? I know those in between balls (between a short hop and full hop) can make a fielder uncomfortable. Wondering if this is something I can help my DD with
Thanks
