Phillies outfield coach Paco Figueroa 🌟 (hence the name created by The Athletic's Matt Gelb) takes elements of foursquare, squash, and pickleball to help his players learn to communicate, move, and field better. 🏏🎾🏓

In Pacoball, they use pickleball paddles 🏓 but switch out a wiffle ball ⚾ for a racquetball. They also play on a 30x30 stretch of grass with no net. To mimic using their gloves 🧤, they must also hold the paddles in their off hands. 🌱🤲
