Snake Bytes, 5/17: Staying at home

[Arizona Sports] Diamondbacks’ Kevin Ginkel honing in on adjustment to landing platform - “What I’ve been seeing it’s like when I land, my front foot doesn’t stay anchored to the ground. So when I land on my foot with all that force, the energy kind of goes into my toes right away. So I lose a lot of momentum going toward home,” Ginkel told Arizona Sports. “I’ve been working on trying to stay anchored. When my front foot lands, keep it grounded and then drive forward instead of hopping out of it. I’ve always had that in my career, that weird recoil … but I’m just not transferring my weight and energy as properly as I’d like.
