I come from the old school of cheap. Some of these cheap baseball training aids have been replaced by more expenisive “tools.” Not necessary and many baseball coaches are feeling the need to do more for less. Give these a try!
1) Fielding- a garage sale table tennis set $1. Four paddles are good for hands baseball drill with tossed or hit ball indoors or outside.
2) Fielding- “hold the bill of hat in mouth baseball drill”- helps fielders extend hands and see the baseball to glove
3) Catcher- Clock drill catcher stance- squat facing pitcher (pretend). Coach calls out 3 (1B), 6 (backstop), 9 (3B), 12 (back to pitcher)-helps with footwork (2-5 minutes)
4) Hitting Drill- (thunderstick with broomstick-$3.00)- wiffle golfs balls-baseball coach tosses or two players take turns; watch for proper swing balance and stance-good for hand/eye coordination.
