| Players start from a distance
of the normal base setting. I.e. (60 feet for little league,
90 feet for high school baseball). Infielders start with the
glove on the ground with the ball in the glove and their throwing
hand next to the glove. This helps the players learn to find
the seams for throwing. On the coaches command of belly the
infielder brings the ball to their belly.
Skip
step , load, and throw. Outfielders follow the same except they
start with the ball in their glove above their head. (T-drill)
Go hand in hand with this drill. Set-up two bats in the shape
of a T. Throw starts with the pushoff leg on top of the T. Rythym
up to the ball using baby steps either 123 or 12. The receiver
is in position when the throwing leg is below the top of the
T and on the opposite side of theT from non throwing leg. Then
the receiver will skip step and load up to throw. Instep should
be shown to target. |
