BASEBALL OUTFIELD DRILL
Have players stand 10-15 feet away from each other with one ball. Have player 1 throw to player 2 a med high fly ball. The purpose is for the out fielder catching the ball is 3 things.- Catch the ball with 2 hands
- Catch the ball on teh throwing side in outstanding throwing position
- Most important is have the fielder already 1/2 way through his crow hop in the air as he/she catches the ball so the time it takes to get the ball in is extremely fast
KEYS- You have to make the catch, have to use hands
- Know the situation....who's on base, how many on base, score, how many outs, your arm strength, inning, ect.
I have been teaching this for 2 years at the HS level and teams rarely run on us because we get the ball in faster than another team in the conference.
