Outfielder drill - Find the Fence
Get into your outfield position and have a teammate or coach throw baseballs high and over your head. Work on turning your shoulder and running to the spot where the ball is heading, locate the fence and then look up and find the ball. The key is to run to the spot where the ball is headed and then locate the ball.
Fielders Tip - Keep Your Glove in Designated Spot
When coming in from the end of an inning, place your glove in a designated spot with the rest of the infielders or outfielders. If your left stranded out on the bases, your teammate can pick you up and run your glove out to you. This will also help everyone find their gloves so there’s no stragglers running out on the field.
Outfield Accuracy Drill
For an outfielder a good way to work on your accuracy is by laying a trash can at home plate with the open side facing whatever part of the outfield you're throwing from. Have a teammate (or yourself) throw up a pop fly. Catch the ball moving forward and on a crow hop throw the ball on one hop to the trash can. Footwork is the key to this drill!
