Baseball Drills Little League – Ricochet Drill

This [tag]baseball drills little league[/tag] is used to teach catchers to trust their protective equipment and to concentrate on the ball.

What you need – Two players will stand in front of the catcher, each with a ball in his or her hand.  

How this drill works – One player will flick a ball at the catcher’s mask and the other will toss a pop up somewhere within the catcher’s range.   The [tag]catcher[/tag] must shake off the ball in the mask to find the pop up and to make the catch.  

Catchers can get hit with the ball a lot during the course of any game, but they still need to be able to react in those situations to the play that is going on.   This [tag]baseball[/tag] [tag]drill[/tag] helps in one aspect of that.

Result – Your catcher is going to be much better prepared to handle some of the different situations that happen during a game – in spite of some of the outside distractions.
