Goal: This is fun drill that allows players to hit a moving object. It is an easy drill helping eye-hand coordination and player confidence.

 

Description:

- This drill is very similar to wiffle BP and can include up to 15 players.

- Players are usually set up as follows:

a. 2 players hitting

b. 2 players catching behind the hitters

c. 1 player feeding balls to the coach

d. Rest of the players on the field (shagging)

 

Players rotate (in pairs) from the field, to catching behind the hitters, to hitting and finally back to the field.

 

After coach has thrown a ball to one hitter, he/she immediately throws the next pitch to the other hitter.

 

Players rotate after each group has had 10-15 quality swings.
