Youth Baseball Fielding Drills – Fielding Fundamentals

I use these youth baseball fielding drills with all ages of youth baseball teams. You’ll see that this baseball drill is really helpful in getting your players making strong throws, getting their body into the throw.

Using 3 cones, place one cone at the infield position where you want them to start. I usually start at SS and will move to 3B and 2B. The second cone is about 3-5 feet in front of that cone and the third cone is about 3-5 in front of that one.

With a player starting at the far cone, assuming a good fielding position, hit a ground ball to them. They are to charge the baseball and field it at the middle cone (using fundamentals). Then they continue on and make a throw to first (where a baseball coach is stationed) and must get to or move past the third cone on the throw. Youth Baseball Fielding Drills
