Youth Baseball Fielding Drills – Fielding Fundamentals

I use these [tag]youth baseball fielding drills[/tag] with all ages of [tag]youth baseball[/tag] teams.   You’ll see that this [tag]baseball drill[/tag] 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 [tag]baseball[/tag] and field it at the middle cone (using fundamentals). Then they continue on and make a throw to first (where a [tag]baseball coach[/tag] is stationed) and must get to or move past the third cone on the throw.
