Objective

  • To develop the proper footwork needed to maximize momentum when throwing a baseball.

Equipment

  • Baseballs (6 - 8).
  • Gloves

Description

  • The players should line-up single file facing the coach approximately 6 to 8 feet away.
  • The coach tosses a baseball straight into the air while the outfielder performs the drill.

Tips

  • After the players feel comfortable toss the baseball so it lands just behind the outfielders head. This will force the outfielders to move back and get into position to throw.
