Coaches are always searching for fresh ideas for baseball drills for fielding. Here are a couple of suggestions to try with your teams.
Grounders
Have two lines of fielders – one line at second base position, the other at short stop position. Have a player on first and third to catch the throws. There are two baseball coaches at home plate – one hitting ground balls to the lines, the other catching the throws from the bases.
Hit a grounder to second base position and they throw to third base. Hit a grounder to short stop and they throw to first. The bases then throw it home. Players rotate to both lines then replace the bases. This baseball drill is fast moving, working on fielding and throwing accuracy.
Cross fire
Used with 2 coaches and 2 buckets of baseballs.
Split the team in half 1 line behind short and the other behind second, 2 coaches hit balls from home side by side to their line of players. They field and fire to 1st base to a bucket or garbage can. After they field they should sprint to the other line. You can count points for direct hits on the bucket to make it a game.
