Thanks to Jeff, one of my readers, for sending this one in. If you’re struggling to come up with team baseball drills, you should try this out!
From Jeff…
Here is a baseball drill we use at most of our baseball practices.
Range Drill - Bucket at 2nd, Bucket at 1B, Fungo at Home
Fielders line up at 3B.
First baseball hit right at 3rd base spot. Fielder fields it, throws to 2B and takes off running towards 2B.
Next ball hit to SS area – fielder fields hit toss to 2b, keeps going.
3rd ball hit to 2B area- fielder throws to 1B and keeps going.
4th and last ball it to 1B.
If you miss a ball keep going around the horn for the other balls – do not stop.
Goals: Fielder fields ball on the run – encourage diving for balls – increase range of fielder.
Keep them on the dirt with good angles to the next batted ball
Variations:
Play consecutive balls got too, 9-12 in a row without counting the first one…depends on the number of fielders.
