When “The Six F’s of Fielding” are mentioned, one name comes to mind: Perry Hill. Widely regarded as a defensive guru, Hill has been spent six straight seasons on the Marlins coaching staff and 12 seasons with them overall since 2002.
A former second baseman who treaded water in the Mexican League before becoming a coach in 1984, Hill cultivated his knowledge of fielding with the Tigers, Expos, Florida Marlins, and Pirates, before becoming a fan favorite for the Miami Marlins.
The Six F’s is Perry Hill’s manifesto on infield technique.
