BASEBALL OUTFIELD DRILL
Have players stand 10-15 feet away from each other with one ball. Have player 1 throw to player 2 a med high fly ball. The purpose is for the out fielder catching the ball is 3 things.
  1. Catch the ball with 2 hands
  2. Catch the ball on teh throwing side in outstanding throwing position
  3. Most important is have the fielder already 1/2 way through his crow hop in the air as he/she catches the ball so the time it takes to get the ball in is extremely fast


KEYS

  1. You have to make the catch, have to use hands
  2. Know the situation....who's on base, how many on base, score, how many outs, your arm strength, inning, ect.


I have been teaching this for 2 years at the HS level and teams rarely run on us because we get the ball in faster than another team in the conference.
