These ideas on youth baseball situation drills come courtesy of two of my subscribers. Try out their ideas below and let me know how it goes for you.
From Tom…
A baseball drill I found the kids love is a form of “Pepper“.
I use it before and between baseball games to kill time and warm them up.
Basically I take the team, line them spread out across in front of me, and hit them a ball. If one of them makes a play on it, they have to complete the effort, then pitch it back to me so I can hit to them again.
If they make a move and don’t complete, or they bobble or miss it, they are out. I was amazed how much they work to do well and be the champ.
From Shane…
This is a baseball catcher drill–
I have my catcher crouch in position without a glove and I will toss a tennis ball at them to catch. It sounds easy but it take can take a few times to get the hang of it. The baseball catcher can’t just hold his hand there because the ball will bounce off. The catcher has to give a little to catch it.
