Answer
Three keys to being a good d-back are anticipation, positioning and playing correct angles. You sound like you are on the right track and I would spend as much time as I could with my position coach working on technique if I were you. Your own coaches are better prepared to address your individual improvement that anyone can do on the internet.

Make sure you let them know you are eager to work hard and improve.

Good luck,
