SOFT HANDS - QUICK RELEASE




The drills I would like to share is one that helps infielders to develop "soft" hands and release the ball quickly and one that helps with lateral movement and fielding.

Have four infielders form a square with about 10 ft. between them. Then, without gloves they flip the ball around counter-clockwise, then shift direction and gradually increase the distance. In the other one divide the infielders into pairs and have them face their partner at a distance of about 10 to 15ft., then, while moving sideways they roll the ball to each other a couple of times before shifting direction. It's important in this drill that the fielders stay low and get rid of the ball quickly.
