The “Quick Feet” Baseball Agility Drill

In today’s video blog post, I want to share with you a favorite baseball agility drill – the “Quick Feet” Drill.   This baseball agility drill provides a great opportunity to work on footwork and being able to change directions very rapidly and comfortably – both from right to left and left to right.   It also forces players to keep their eye on the ball, which is always a good thing. Be sure to emphasize to your players never to turn their back on the ball.

Breaking Down the “Quick Feet” Baseball Agility Drill:

• You’re going to be going from one direction to the other as rapidly as you can

• Perform this drill initially without a glove

• Pay close attention to the cut from right to left or left to right

• Creep. Quick feet. Switch. Ball.

• The same techniques that apply to any part of the outfield also apply here

• Run light on the feet, making sure to track the ball all the way into the glove

• Always be sure to call the ball.   We always call it three times to make sure that our partners can hear us and we don’t end up with a collision.
