INTRASQAUD GAMES SPECIAL SITUATIONS
Purpose:
1. To practice specific game situations.
2. To improve player's concentration during specific game situations.
Procedure: The team is divided into two squads. Various games include:
1. Three-Two Count Game: Each player goes to plate with 3-2 count. Players must be selective but also protect the plate with a 3-2 count.
2. Hit & Run Game: Runners are placed on the different bases prior to each inning. The teams play an intrasquad game with each batter going to the plate in hit & run situation. The defensive and the offensive teams play the hit and run game with the same rules that they would play a regulation game.
3. Nine Outs Game: The teams play an intrasquad game with the defensive team staying on the field for nine outs, instead of three. The bases are cleared after a new inning is started after three outs.
4. Two Strike Game: Players go to the plate with a two strike count. With a two strike count players must choke up and shorten their swings protecting their at bat and battle with the pitcher until a pitch comes down the "pipe". You can add runners on base if you like.
