What you get

A pro-level eye on your game

  • ◆Frame-by-frame film breakdown of your fielding, footwork, and in-game decisions.
  • ◆Specific, prioritized fixes for your hands, feet, and transfers — so you know what to work on first.
  • ◆Baseball IQ coaching — pre-pitch routine, positioning, reads, and situational awareness.
  • ◆A clear development path built around your level and your goals.

Why this is different

Most infielders are taught reps. You'll be taught the game.

The usual advice

"Stay low. Soft hands. Two feet."

Most infielders get the same cues on repeat — but nobody's teaching them where to be before the ball's even hit, how to read the hitter, or the footwork that actually holds up in a game.

Team practice is rushed. Travel coaches are stretched thin. And generic online drills don't tell your player what they specifically need to fix.

The shift

I'm Blake Guerin, and I played Division I infield at the University of Iowa (Big Ten) and the University of South Alabama (Sun Belt). I'm not guessing at what the next level wants — I lived it. I break down your film the way a college coach would, then give you the exact mechanical and mental adjustments to make.

You don't just get drills. You get the why — the read, the positioning, the decision — so the game slows down for you.

The three pillars

What we build, together

Every breakdown and every coaching plan is built on these three things.

01

Hands & Feet

Fielding mechanics, footwork, transfers, and double-play feeds and turns — the technique that holds up under real game pressure.

02

Baseball IQ

Pre-pitch routine, positioning, reads, situational awareness, and decision speed — knowing where the play is before the ball is hit.

03

The Next-Level Lens

What college coaches actually look for, taught by someone who lived it — so you train toward the standard you're chasing.

I'm Blake Guerin — a Division I infielder and the coach behind Built For The Dirt. I spent three years at the University of Iowa in the Big Ten, then a season at the University of South Alabama in the Sun Belt, competing against and alongside some of the best players in the country.

I built this because most infield coaching stops at drills. I teach the whole position — the hands and feet that hold up under pressure, and the baseball IQ that tells you where to be before the ball's even hit. That's what separated players at my level, and it's exactly what I'll break down in your film.

Whether you're eight or eighteen, chasing a starting spot or a roster at the next level — let's get you built for the dirt.

02

Send your film

Game or practice clips work — share a Google Drive or Hudl link. No film yet? Backyard drill clips are fine to start.

Questions

Practice reps or even backyard drill clips work to start. We can build from whatever footage you have, and I'll tell you exactly what to capture next.

What ages and levels do you work with? +

Infielders from youth through high school and recruits — ages 8 to 18+. Every breakdown and plan is tailored to the player's level and goals.

Is this just for shortstops? +

No — all infield positions, plus position-specific reads and footwork for each spot on the diamond.

What do I need to get started? +

A phone to record film and a way to share a video link (Google Drive or Hudl). That's it.
