From there he moves into special tosses and flips, including backhand flips and the underhand toss. Lenti believes that situations must be worked on each day - he includes the pitchers' technique to execute a 1-2-3 double play. Lenti demonstrates a number of his favorite drills to use during practice. He also talks about the importance of the mental side of the game to good defensive teams.
