A video on Twitter has captivated audiences with its display of baseball mastery. The video opens with the coach standing at a distance from two players – a pitcher and a catcher – who stand opposite each other’s positions. They are separated by a screen, with one preparing to hit from the right and the other from the left. 

The coach takes center stage and lifts two balls in a single hand. With grace and precision, he sends both balls soaring toward the waiting catchers’ mitts, located on opposite sides. The balls follow a perfectly straight path, each traveling to its intended target with ease.

Torre, a former player with over 2,000 hits, went on to have an equally successful career as a manager, with 2,000 wins under his belt. He was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 2014. Meanwhile, the legendary Joe McCarthy, who led the New York Yankees from 1931 to 1946, had a .698 winning percentage, more than any other manager in baseball history. This just proves that coaches are a lighthouse for any player that is looking to pave their way to baseball greatness.
