I got the inspiration for this baseball coaching drill from Jim. It includes some fresh ideas for baserunning drills. Try it out and let me know what you think!
From Jim…
GAME BASERUNNING DRILL
Have a runner on each base, and a runner in each batter’s box (5 total runners)
Coach is on mound acting as a pitcher in the stretch. No ball is needed.
Coach initiates drill by feigning a pitch.
On the pitch the following runners will take secondary lead then advance
accordingly: (except players in batters boxes)
Left hand Batters Box: Runs out a ground ball to first and stays at 1st.
Right hand batters Box: Runs out a double and stays at 2nd.
Runner on 1st: Runner goes 1st to 3rd and stays at 3rd.
Runner on 2nd: Runner goes 2nd to home.
Runner on 3rd: Runner simulates a fly ball, tags and scores.
Run through the drill till all players start from BOTH batters boxes.
This drill works all baserunning situations quickly and efficiently.
