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
the T from non throwing leg. Then the receiver will skip
step and load up to throw. Instep should be shown to target. |
