Purpose
Infielders practice turning 5-4-3 and 6-4-3 double plays.
Drill Setup
- Lines of players at Pitcher, Catcher and Short 1B
- Coach with fungo bat up the third baseline
How it Works
- Fungo 1 alternates ground balls to 3B and SS.
- On grounder hit to 3B – he fields ball and throws to 2B, 2B throws to 1B for 5-4-3 double play.
- On grounder hit to SS – he fields ball and throws to 2B, 2B throws to 1B for 6-4-3 double play.
- Rotate and repeat.
