| Diamond Catcher Tips |
Catcher Drill - The Catchers Arc
In full gear have the catcher squat in position behind home plate. Once set, draw a half circle that the catcher will use as a guide for his knees and body angle. Simulate pitches thrown in the dirt, some in front, some to the left, and even curve balls. The idea is for the catcher to use the half circle as a guide to angle his/her body to deflect the baseball in front towards the plate.

Short Hop Drill
Grab a partner and stand 40 feet apart
One partner will throw short hops so the ball is hitting within three feet of the other partner. Do twenty then switch
When you're fielding, concentrate on having your hands out in front of you and accepting the ball with soft hands using your top hand as well.
Field the ball then use good footwork and make the throw back to your partner who will be presenting a target.
Once you master the short hop in front, work on moving the ball around using your backhand and forward hand.

How to Strengthen Your Arm
Long toss is a great way to get your arm in shape, increase your throwing power, distance, and accuracy. With a teammate throw at a normal distance until you are loose then every toss you make step back two steps so the distance becomes greater between you and your teammate. Don’t over do it; the whole point is to condition your arm and it will take time. Use good form and throw the ball on a line, over time you will be able to increase the length and accuracy of your throws with more power.
