Browns Card of the Day

Oscar Melillo
No. 3, Playing The Bounces: In fielding ground balls in the infield, Melillo never stands flatfooted and waits for the ball to arrive. moves in or out to get the ball at the top of a bounce. And he keeps his eye on the ball until it hits his glove. Second basemen, being closer to first base, have more time to play for good bounces than the shortstop and third basemen where the throwing distance is greater. The first law of good fielding, where possible, is to play for a good bounce.
