Baseball Fielding Drills

Take a look at this submission from Dale, one of my subscribers.  A great suggestion for baseball fielding drills that can work with all age groups.

One of the best fielding baseball drills we do is start by having two “posts” about 10-12 feet apart.

The fielder stands in the middle of these posts and acts as a goalie as the baseball coach (or another player if they can hit fairly accurately) hits baseballs at them having the players do whatever it takes to not let the ball pass them.

We usually do this as a competition between the players and they seem to respond well and their fielding improves greatly.

There are ways to expand upon it – move the posts wider apart and use it as a diving drill or have two sets of posts approx 15 feet in front of each other and have the players work in pairs – one as a back up – very fun.
