Struggling at the Plate? Get back to the basics
If you’re in a slump at the plate, get back to the basics. Grab a bag of whiffle balls and a tee and start hacking. Most likely you’ll notice the ball heading up or down off the barrel of the bat. The idea is to hit the whiffle ball square with a level swing, as soon as you do this it will look like your hitting a knuckle ball off of your bat.
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.
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.
