One person take a knee and the other get into the fielders position
The fielder should have bent knees with glove and top hand out in front close to the ground.
Role a baseball to the fielder’s right, the fielder should shuffle to receive the ball in the middle of the body.
The fielder will flip the ball back and shuffle to the left as the partner roles another ball to your left.
As a Fielder you will be shuffling about 10 to 15 feet.
If you work hard and do it right you will be sweating and legs burning. After about 15 to 20 reps switch it up.
Keys to this drill are fast pace, solid flips and roles. The fielder is in constant motion in a squatting position at all times.
This drill is great for range of motion and stamina as well as maintaining the proper fielding position.
One Hand Scoop Drill
Have a partner role you a tennis ball
Get into a fielding position with no glove
Place your throwing hand behind your back
Field the tennis ball with the back of your hand towards the ground like you would if you had a glove on.
Add as many players as you want and make a game out of it, get through 50 without a bobble.
This drill will work on hand eye coordination and concentration on the ball.
Fielders Tip - Ready Position
A good way to get into the ready position as an infielder is to take to steps forward as the pitcher is in motion and then as the ball is released break down into a fielding ready position on the balls of your feet with your glove out in front.
